Drafting and Planning: Double Page Spread Design

I have decided to work with different colour choices for the bold text boxes surrounding my pull quotes on my double page spread. In my previous post I had used a duck egg blue colour, however I am going to test other colour options. I am going to be taking colour inspiration from the pastel colour selection in the art background behind my artist. This will then create a connection between all of the pages features, showing it to be one piece. 

Original Colour 

Test 1

•  This test pulled out the purple aspect of the art. It works well and stands out from the rest of the text on the page, The colour is also not to overpowering, giving a delicate burst of colour.
• However the colour appears to be a major colour in the art meaning the colour is dominant on the page to begin with, so doesn't give the full affect of the colour pop. 

Test 2 

•  The pink looks good, it adds a feminine feel to the page which portrays her girly side. 
• However the colour overpowers the other color aspects of the background art, meaning it takes away from its affect. 

Test 3


 

•  This goldy yellow colour pulls on the small detail aspects in the art. Using this colour would make quotes standout as it isn't a dominant colour in the background.
• However the colour doesn't go with the overall ethos of my magazine, so it is defiantly a colour I wont be using.
