Name and colour scheme

I have decided to call my magazine Ebonics, this is in reference to both the term for slang used by many African Americans, and connotations within Hip Hop itself, it is also giving reference to the song "Ebonics" by influential east coast Hip Hop artist Big L.

The colour scheme I have decided on is a mix of Black, Red and White. I have chosen this colour scheme after researching magazines within the genre and analysing their colour schemes, and conforming to the genres conventions in terms of colour scheme. These images show the front covers I viewed to help me decide. They make use of similar colours, and I hope to achieve a similar look with my magazine. I think the use of bold colours on the masthead for VIBE is particularly good, as well as the general use of fonts on the front covers.
