Text colour Testing For R&B Magazine
R&B magazines are usually aimed at teenagers. The magazines are t aimed at children, therefore there will not be alot of bright colours. In alot of music magazines, they have a simple colour scheme. Normally it's one colour in their background, and one bright colour for the title.
Colour scheme tests:
Red: Red is a very bold colour and stands out from block colours like black, white, and grey. This colour would be effective for the magazine title, or sub-headings. This is because it would be the colour that catches your eye first.
Black: Black is a very versatile colour. If you had a white background, black would stand out as a title colour. If you had a black background, any bright colour would stand out for the title. It could also be used as a font colour for general text.
White: White, again, is very versatile. Like black, it can be used as a background colour, heading colour, and sub-heading colour. If a black background is used, it would be very effective as a general text colour.
Green: Green would be quite overpowering as a background colour, and there would not be many colours which would compliment it for the heading, & sub-headings. It would be more effective used as a text colour, especially on a black background.
Light Blue: Light Blue is a calm colour. It would be suitable for calm music genres.
Dark Blue: Dark Blue is a bold colour. It would be effective on a white background.

Pink: Pink is more likely to be used if a female artist, (e.g Rihanna), is being displayed on the front cover. NME use pink when having Rihanna as the main focus of magazine. This shows their consistent readers that it is not a usual issue.
