The Colour Wheel
A colour wheel
is an explanatory organization of colour tones around a circle that shows
relationships between primary colours, secondary colours and tertiary colours.
The colour wheel is designed so that the user will be able to determine from it
whether or not specific colours will complement each other or be contrasting.
This is important when creating a magazine because if the colours you chose for
your magazine do not go together then it may make the cover look chaotic and
disorganised, giving your magazine an unprofessional quality.
Colours can be
used to create mood, colours like red and black create an intense and edgy kind
feeling and would be suited more toward a rock magazine for example. Colours like
blues and light greens however are much calmer and create a sense of serenity so
may be used in a home magazine or something similar.
