Mood Board (Colours)

In order to find colours suitable for my music magazine, I tried creating a mood board of different colours. Keeping my target audience in mind, I also considered conventional colours other existing magazines used. For example, NME gave me most of my inspiration and they use colours similar to red, yellows and blacks. However, Billboard also have a target audience of young girls and they use pastel colours like pinks, blues and yellows. However, billboard's target audience was a far more conventional view of young girls that are 'girly'. In order to find some middle ground and ensure that the colours I chose would appeal to teenage girl with an alternative edge, I tried mixing different colours like reds, blacks, whites and yellows as well as adding some graphics that were pink or blue.
