I incorporated the same colour spectrum to suit the aesthetic I was aiming for. This does seem quite plenty to look at, however it was my intention to design a more chaotic dada zine rather than a calm-looking one. As I progressed through designing the pages, I had solidified my decision to stick to a neutral-brown colour palette and included a “Dada renaissance” theme for my zine.
I find that the colour brown suits the concept of dada very well - it was an art movement birthed a long time ago and brown seems like a “mature” colour; a lot of the artworks incorporate faded or pastel colours; generally bright and vivid colours (such as blue yellow pink) are leaning more towards more modern art movements. You might also ask me why I had chosen to create a renaissance-based theme for my zine. Going back to when I first googled about dada, I had been browsing the images to get the basic grasp of what the art looked like, and the first image which caught my eye was the painting of the Mona Lisa with a moustache. I had found it quite comedic and liked the idea of using renaissance paintings to be part of my collages.
