Colour triangles:
Colour triangles are useful at directing the readers eye to certain points. This helps to get the audience to notice the magazine. Below are three magazines which I have analysed for the colour triangles. I have presented this on the application called Pages, then when I had finished I had screen shot them to upload the pictures to here.
I have analysed this magazine cover which has 2 colours in the colour scheme. The colours are yellow and white, these are calm, happy and mostly girly colours. One point on the mast head is yellow so that links with the number 4 which is also in yellow. It links with that the most because it is the largest. Another point connected is the article line which is at the bottom right hand corner. This puts a focus on Taylor's hair which is blonde and curly.
The second colour was white one point is the top of the article lines, the other is the bottom where it has the large font. The third point is the singers name in the bottom right hand corner this makes a focus on her lips, this then makes the audience focus on her make up and admires her natural make up look.
This magazine also only has two colours for the cover scheme but has a very different design as the mast head is down the left hand side of the page. This is something that is quite different. The first colour is red. The first point is the red masthead. Then it links with the article line on the right hand side of the page. This then links with the red light which is brightly shinning on Justin's hair, making it look quite red. This puts an immediate focus on his face and lips. This happens as his lips are quite red and his face is the main part of this front cover, as he will be mentioned a lot in this magazine. The next colour is white. The points are his name which is in white, the small article line on the right, and the article line underneath his name. This puts a focus on his name and his neck and arms.
This magazine has 3 colours in its colour scheme. The yellow is linked with the masthead colour and the article title on the left and the article title in the small circle on the right. This focuses on her original dress which she is wearing. The white is linked with the article above the masthead. It is also linked with the article underneath Katy's name and in the article title in the small circle. This focuses on the flowers on her dress. The black colour is linked wither side of the masthead and her name. This puts focus on her face, showing ff her extravagant make up which she is wearing.
I will use the colour triangles to put focus on certain points on my front cover of my pop music magazine.
