Colour Pallets

-The three colours I would like to have has my magazine pallet are red, white and blue. I have chosen these colours because they are the colours of the union jack- a flag which was very popular during the punk era, as it was seen on many t-shirts and also the background to the infamous phrase 'Punks not dead'; this I hope would entice punk music lovers.
-I'm currently unsure on what shade of red I will be using. I don't want it to be too bright, because even though it will attract attention at the same time it could look quite 'cheap' and unproffesional.

-I think I'm going to use quite a dark shade of blue- this is because it's not quite black and shouldn't be mistaken for it, yet I've used a dark colour to tone down the brightness of the white and red.

-Blue has connotations of calm and relaxation, so I hope that this would mean it would be easy to look at for the reader. Red on the other hand has quite contrasting connotations; some people would assosiate it with love and passion, whereas others think of danger when they see it. Either way, I would hope that the red would bring some excitement to the reader.
