Choice of Colour

For my main task the choice of Colour was extremely important for the design on my pages. From trial and error, I knew that splashing any colour onto a page does not make it successful for the reasons that  it looks unprofessional, untidy and somewhat confusing. The main choice of colours I went for were light blue and white.

Dark colours tend to make areas appear smaller, have a more dramatic effect and can add punch to decorating style.

Bright colours , tend to brighten an area, making it appear more open and roomy.

the most important part of choosing colours is do I like it? Does it make me feel comfortable with the design?

Choice of Font

For my main task, The choice of font was very important.It makes or breaks the whole design in my opinion. It had to suit the design of the page. For my task, I used only one font on the front cover because Typically the human eye likes simple looks. I tend to personally get lost when I see more than two fonts on the page so usual I skip to the next page. Also, Many fonts distract the reader and as a result it looks unprofessional. 

This is a good example.
In this VIBE magazine, I can only spot two fonts. The title of the magazine is a different font to the subheadings and text. I notice here that the bigger text including the title is yellow. The layout of the page is quiet neat. The position of the text are well placed and is inviting for the reader.  




The font of my title is the same as every other word on the page. This is because it looks neat and tidy and therefore, attracts the reader. The sizes of the text are mostly different. Using common sense, The more important headlines and stories are much bigger.
