Colour connotations

The colours that mainly feature on my magazine include:

Purple - Purple is usally associated with royality and wealth. It is also a sign of nobility and superiority. I chose to use this colour because of this fact, and the fact that it goes with the Wyke College house style. Purple is also used to boost morale, imagination and creativity. Is it also eye catching and would definitely encourage people to read this magazine, especially since the purple house style runs all the way through.

White - White is featured a lot in my magazine; in the pictures, text and in the backgrounds. White symbolises perfection, goodness and purity. It is probably something that people notice sub consciously and they probably don't even realise they are realising it. White can also mean safety as opposed to black which can have a bad connotation.

Green - Green is the colour of nature. I plan to have some natural light and possibly outdoor scenes in my magazine. It would be best if my pictures were taken in the sun so the nature can come out of the pictures. Green is a really light colour so that will help aid the brightness of my image on the cover. Brightness on the cover will help me to attract more attention to the magazine and it will make people want to read it.
