Here are 5 sets of Pantone swatches that reflect on my time during University.
Name - recharge
I chose the colour blue as I felt that i needed to take a step back and basically just recharge!
Name - sunset run
When finishing University I would always be rushing back while there was a sunset.
Name - mocha
For a pick up I would drink a mocha latte.
Name - everyday deadlines
Showing the other side of University life.
Name - brainwave
Different shades of pink to show a creative process.
Task 3
This is a colour palette that is similar to the one I have chosen for my magazine. I have kept it simple with a pop of colour.
This is my new colour palette created using Adobe.
I have now applied it to my magazine layout.
Front cover - the black background can be seen as too harsh, although I like it as it makes the photograph and masthead stand out. I have changed the black line to a blue-green colour. To improve the front cover I would change the colour of the different captions as it just doesn’t look good to me. This can be considered as ‘bad design’. Although this is a type of style when it comes to anti-design and rule breaking in graphic design. How do you feel about this?
First double spread page - the change of colour on this page is another colour choice that works. The purple texture stands out and I really like how I can see the details in it. If I was to develop this page in the future I would add experiment with he composition, background and add something near the black box.
Second page spread - I haven’t made any changes to the articles and kept it plain. Again, if I was to develop this I could re-arrange the way the paragraphs are and add some grid like boxes to this page. I would make the layout hierarchical. Could I change the colour and boxed outline on the pull quote?
I have used another photograph that wasn’t used on the original magazine. The difference on this page is the colours. I have used the colour green to contrast with the colour purple and to make it stand out. I am unsure about the green pattern, but it is visually interesting.
How to Use Duotone in Adobe Photoshop

To assign a second ink colour, click the white swatch immediately under the black swatch.

What did I learn?
I came across some very useful websites that helped me to create the colour palettes that I desired. I learnt how to use use duotone in Adobe Photoshop. It was nice to colourise my magazine from the swatch I created using Adobe. I really like the outcome of this and used colours that I didn’t even think of using.

I went back onto Adobe Colour yesterday, to get a general feel of the colour scheme of my beat. It really just lies on a different shades of gold, for the mask, I think between that and the dark grey, are the most consistent colours you’ll see in the whole animation. I think I might do one for the whole group, so everyone has a reference to go back to, and it has continuity.
