Rocksound Magazine 'Mock- Up'

This magazine has a traditional basic magazine layout, where the masthead is on the top of the cover to keep a very simplistic but effective layout. the colour pallette uses yellow, white, and a variation between different shades of blues and turquoise which does not comply to the rule of three but, the extra colour is for added effect among text to emphasise it's meaning, and also contrasts well with the picture and background to stand out on the page. This is used for simplicity as the picture can contrast well against the background. The colour palette shows a teenage/ adult audience as it doesnt show extremely bright colours that may attract a younger audience, but more toned down and relaxed colours. By doing this 'Mock-Up' of a magazine cover i have learned various things for example the basic rules for a magazine cover, how a basic layout can be very effective, and how contrasting slightly text colours from background images and colours distinguishes and makes text stand out and more appealing on the page.
