Target Audience: Colour Scheme

Colour Scheme

 As I have decided, my target audience will have an age range of 15 to 22. This age range was inspired by music magazines such as NME and Q. 
 Bright colours grab attention however they are childish and immature. Colours such as black, white and red are perfect to use as house colours for a music magazine that has a target audience of 15 to 22 year olds. I have previously analysed a cover page for VIBE magazine. The main cover star was Nicki Minaj and the editors based the house style on Minaj's bright orange hair, to me that looked amazing. It was done so elegantly and with so much taste, it definitely would also appeal to my target audience.
Here is a link to that cover:

 However music magazines such as NME and Q very rarely use such bright colours. Their house colours are mainly black, white and red. Here is an example of such a cover:

It can be clearly sen that the only colour present that stands out is the red from Florence's hair.
