Planning - Title and Colour Scheme

I have chosen to name my music magazine The Mix, this came joint first in my questionnaire and I believe it is a suitable name as I will use a variety of music genres, therefore mixing the genres into one magazine. The word mix is sometimes also used for a slang word for song, I believe The Mix is an effective title as it can show a variety of music artists in the magazine, therefore attracting more people as there is more chance they will like some of the artists included.

The main colour scheme I will use is Black, White and Red. I researched a cover of XXL magazine which also used this theme, I believe it was a simple theme but still eye catching to the target audience, as the red stood out boldly from the black and white. Here are some covers I researched, with the colour theme I think will look best.

As you can see the red really stands out from the black and white, as it is vivid and bold. I also think a black and white photo looks more professional, and will be easier to adjust as a full colour image will contain more contrasts.
