Possible Color Schemes for Automobile Magazine (pt1)

-


Automobile Magazine

Now that everything regarding color scheme has been established for the fitness magazine, it is now time to do the same for the automobile magazine. The automobile magazine will, however, be very different than that of the fitness magazines. This is because we are dealing with a completely different type of magazine. Cars are inanimate objects, therefore, the process of taking pictures is different than that of fitness magazines. Instead of focusing on the poses and clothing of the picture, we must consider the angles and colors of the vehicles. The size and type of vehicle will also have a great influence on the color scheme of the magazine. I will describe many possibilities in vehicles and establish the best color schemes to match that theme because there are many factors that will affect the color scheme.

Possible Color Schemes

Car types

One very important factor that may affect the color scheme that should be used is the type of car that is being used. What is meant by "Type" is the functionality of the car or what it was meant to do. The types of cars that I will discuss are as follow:

Daily Drivers:

Cars such as the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla are cars that fall within this Daily Driver category. They provide reliability without any exclusive performance or luxury so they are one of the most common cars in the market. Their price make them an even better choice amongst people. Possible color schemes for these types of cars are:

  • Blue background and any complimentary text color
  • Red background and any complimentary text color
  • Black background and any complimentary text color
  • White background and any complimentary Background
Muscle Cars:

Unlike the daily drivers, these cars are more geared towards appearance and performance. These cars are a very popular choice amongst car enthusiasts especially in the united states since these cars are American vehicles. Because they establish a much more aggressive theme, the color scheme of these vehicles should also be different from that of the daily drivers.

  • Red background and Black Text
  • Red background and Blue text
  • Red background and Text That Matches The Vehicle Color 
  • Black background and Yellow Text
  • Black Background and Red Text
  • Black Background and Text That Matches The Vehicle Color
  • Other colors may apply depending on the color of the car

G reetings, my name is Juan and this is my very first blog post of many more to come! What is my Goal? The reason I created this blog is in order to log my procedures in creating my magazine for AICE Media Studies. I will be posting these blogs on a regular basis in order to accurately explain how I intend to reach my end product (the magazine cover). My blogs will cover things, such as rough drafts, ideas, possible pictures, and essentially my entire thought process in coming up with the magazine. How will this be done? Since this is AICE Media Studies, I will be going about this blog in a very specific manner with specific tasks in order to abide by the rubric. The magazine will consist of a front-page, contents, and a two-page spread. There is also the possibility that I will be working in a group of up to 4 people. If I am to work in a group, each member of the team will be assigned a specific portion or job, all of which will be discussed in more depth later on.

Codes & Conventions of a Magazine

The next step in properly understanding how a magazine works is to learn the conventions and codes that make it up. This is something that I must learn in order to successfully create my magazine. The information that I obtained through research led me to this: Masthead:  When it comes to publishing, this term refers to the name of the magazine. This is a very important component of the magazine as it is one of the first things read and it also gives off the genre of the magazine. Sell line:  This is the statement made by the magazine that will try to convince someone to buy it. This is because it usually states any extra gains that a person will obtain from buying the magazine such as competitions or prizes. Cover lines:  These essentially serve as teasers as to what information is inside for the readers. They run down the sides of the magazine and is another technique to gain the attention of potential buyers. Main image/central image:  Just as the name implies, t

Genre of Magazines Before I can go about creating my magazine, I believe it is important that I understand what a magazine is, starting with the genres of magazines. I need to get my thoughts flowing as to what genre of magazine I am looking for. I conducted some research in order to outline the different genres, and here is what I found: Food Magazines: This type of magazine revolves around the advertising of food. It can range from foods that can be made at home, how to cook, home recipes, and even foods that can be found around the world. Fashion Magazines: This genre of magazine revolves around clothing and other forms of fashion. Fashion can be displayed through the use of people or individual objects. It is usually what people use to find out what is trending in clothing, but many magazines regarding fashion can also display very extravagant and unorthodox dresses. Automotive Magazines: This particular genre of magazine revolves around cars and e
