Colour Scheme Analysis: Two Page Spread

The colour scheme of this two page spread taken from XXL magazine consists of red, black and white with a black and white photograph. This colour scheme is effective in drawing attention to a single feature of the double page spread, as the title is the only featured colour. The absence of bright colours in this example creates a relaxed tone which relates to the featured artist 'growing old gracefully'. This colour scheme would likely appeal to a wider range of audience compared to the example featuring Lupe Fiasco as a more laid-back tone i present in the text.
