Possible Color Schemes for Fitness

Fitness Magazine

Now that the factors that affect the color scheme of fitness magazines have been discussed, it is time for me to discuss the possible color schemes that I could incorporate if I were to make a fitness magazine. I will be using the factors that I previously mentioned in order to come up with a good color scheme. I will provide possible cover picture ideas and poses in order to identify what color scheme I will use. After this analysis, I will provide real magazines that incorporated similar color schemes as I did and I will explain why they did so. This portion will be for my next post, however.

Possible Color Schemes

Arms Crossed:

Thes types of pictures incorporate an aggressive tone and theme. By having athletic and fit individuals cross their arms they are incorporating a very unique pose. Possible Color Schemes for this are:

• Black Background Red Lettering 
• Black Background Yellow Lettering
• Black Background White Lettering
• White Background Black Lettering
• White Background Red Lettering 

Shirtless Poses:

Fitness magazines are notorious for their shirtless front cover poses. These are often done to gain the attention of the readers. They are meant to be the center of attention so any distracting colors should be avoided. White and maybe Black backgrounds work best. Color Schemes may be:

• Black Background White Lettering
• Black Background Yellow Lettering
• White Background Red Lettering
• Black backgrounds (Depending on skin Complexion)
