More colour options

As I felt it was necessary to experiment with different colours, I decided to vary the colours using colours related to the CD cover.

The print screen above shows another possible coloured background which I could use for the magazine advertisement. Although I like this colour, I think this colour would be too dark and wouldn't be suitable as it would not follow the naturalistic theme.

Many magazine advertisements use black backgrounds so that text and images stand out. However, I feel this colour is too harsh and wouldn't relate to my theme. The colour black gives off negative connotations too. 
This lilac colour relates well to the CD cover and I feel this colour compliments the natural theme too. However, I still feel the blue colour will work better.


Start process of my magazine advert

I decided to start by creating a background base for the text and images to stand out on. I wanted to create a background which related to the colour scheme of the CD cover so that the magazine advertisement accompanied the CD cover well. I really like this blue background as the colour is not too bold to lose the effect of the CD cover image, as well as the text.
