Consideration of Colours, Lighting and Themes

Upon studying a selection of magazines in designated groups, we began once again unpeeling editorial decisions and justifying the selection of colours, lighting and themes. Examining an issue of "Classic Rock", main content concerning the mysterious death of Jimmi Hendrix. Overall colour selection ranged from that of Blacks, Whites, Greys, Browns and Reds. Such a suttle composite of colours overall helped sustain a respectful yet dark tone, corresponding with the
featured content.

Situating with the nature of the feature, images constrain a de-saturated visual pallete and therefore communicate a mise en scene (everything within the frame/image) of dark undertone. Such themes are continued throughout the double page spread, ending on a image of contrasting nature with engaging florescent multi-colour. This overall paints an image of postitivity and respectfully takes note of the historic figure of which is Jimmi Hendrix (fitting due to the fact that this is very much a classic rock magazine). Use of such undertones in images sparked a possible method in which I could perhaps lay out my final set of images in both my front cover, content page and double page spread.
