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 Backgr...

Automobile Magazine: I must also identify certain aspects that I would incorporate in my automobile magazine. Since my last post went over the factors to consider when making a color scheme for fitness magazines, I believe that the same should be done for automobile magazines. same as with fitness magazines, he color scheme will be dependent on many factors. Once those factors are identified, then an appropriate color scheme can be made. Factors That Affect Color Scheme in Automobiles The Position of the car: Depending on the position that a car is in, the color scheme may vary. This is because some positions are used in order to emphasize a certain aspect or feature of the car. If the car is in a racing style position, then bright colors would be a great choice in order to convey this feeling of speed. Other positions are done in order to convey a more stylistic view of the car or set a certain tone. All these factors must be considered because there is usually a purpose...

Fitness Magazine As I continue to decide which type of magazine I would like to follow through with, I will continue to identify certain aspects that I would incorporate in my magazines. Since my last post went over the guidelines for properly choosing a color scheme, I believe that I should begin to think of a color scheme for my fitness magazine. The color scheme will be dependent on many factors. Once those factors are identified, then an appropriate color scheme can be made. Factors That Affect Color Scheme in Fitness: Clothing of the individual: The type of clothing that is worn by the person in the front cover (If I choose to use a person) has a very big impact on the color scheme. For example, if the individual has very tight clothing that really defines their curvature, then a color that shows those lines should be used. If the individual is without a shirt, then the color scheme would also be affected.  Color of the person or clothing: Both of these thin...

Roles of Color Scheme Color schemes play very important roles in the tone of the magazine. It is also important to note that using the correct color scheme may also attract more customers or readers. The color and visuals of a magazine play a big role in the attraction of customers and readers. This is especially true for the front cover. The front cover of a magazine should be the most visually appealing, and the color scheme is one of the most important factors in this visual. What should you do? Provide colors that have a strong visual impact on the viewer. Give them a visual that will make them want to pick up the magazine. Have a good combination of colors, such as complementary colors. In order for the colors to be appealing to the readers. Have a color that fits your theme. This will allow readers to better understand the topic and to associate the color to the topic. Use vivid colors in order to attract the most attention. Make sure th...

Automobile Magazine: I have also gone ahead and brainstormed a few ideas for automobile magazine titles. These titles will cover a large range of automobile topics. There are many different types of cars and each car may serve a specific purpose, which allows for a greater variety of topics and more creativity. Automobile Titles: Automobile: This is as general as a title for this topic may go. This would allow for a variety of different applications and discussion of different cars and products. This is a magazine that any person regardless of age, financial status, and car knowledge can pick up and read. This may be a very good idea for a magazine that you would like to attract as many people as possible and discuss general aspects of the automobile world. Daily Driver: This title may serve two specific purposes. For one, it may be a title that can describe the simple fact of being an automobile magazine. If this is the case, everything that was specified in the ab...

Fitness Magazine: After very careful consideration, I have decided to continue my research in order to make the correct decision when it comes to a magazine topic. I will now begin to identify any possible fitness magazine titles and describe why they would be a good fit for the given topic. The titles that I will be creating will cover several aspects of the fitness world and I will provide a description of them. Fitness Titles: Health and Fitness: Health is a fitness magazine that is appropriate for all readers. Anything having to do with leading a strong, productive life is contained within, including diet advice, workouts, and informative articles. It is the definition of the universal fitness magazine title and it is the title that will ideally attract the most readers due to its general nature. Men's Health: This is a very common Fitness magazine title and can be used for virtually any fitness magazine. The versatility of this title makes it a popular choice i...

Evaluation of Sample Pictures: After taking the sample pictures for both of my topics I came to notice many things. As far as the topics are concerned they are both very interesting topics and will make for great magazine covers. The photography process of these topics was however very different than what I expected.  Fitness pictures: The fitness pictures that I took revolved around portraying health and fitness. This was done by trying to incorporate good physiques with good backgrounds that demonstrate the use of the gym. However, I decided to take a very different approach to the pictures I was taking. Instead of taking the pictures in the typical professional style, I wanted to test if a mirror/selfie type of picture would work well and appeal to younger audiences more. I did not really like the results of such a technique, as I feel it will take away the feeling of being a "Magazine". Taking the pictures was, however, not as hard as I had originally believed ...
