When coming up with a colour scheme i put together different colours to see how well they fit together. I found that the colours shown below work well without appearing too obnoxious. The colours are quite gentle to the eye and not difficult to look at.
I needed to find a font for the various different sections of the magazine. I need something very clear and readable for the title and headers, and something easy to read and sans-serif for the main body text. The "OCR A" font may be appropriate if the magazine is more technology based, so i believe that the "Menlo Bold" is the most appropriate for my magazine.
The header needs to stand out above any body text or images. Out of the 3 that i chose below, I found that the "Britannic Bold" is generally inappropriate as it appears fairly old-fashioned. The "Gill Sans" font appears too thin, so it may be difficult to make it stand out on a complex background. This means that the "Krugenthep" font would be the most appropriate for my magazine as it is bold, chunky and fairly modern-looking.
For the body text, all of the fonts that i have found are fairly similar. I feel that the body text needs to be clear and easy to read. The "Geneva CY" font looks a little too chunky for body text, as does the "Verdana" font. The "Microsoft tai le" font is possibly a little too thin, so the "Helvetic Neue" font seems the most appropriate.
