Inspiration page explained...

My inspiration was mainly from my love of simple looking magazines and neutral colours. One magazine in particular that I found inspirational was Oh Comely (as seen on my inspiration page below) because I feel that the simplicity of the magazine's front covers in particular are very appealing and in this case I think less is more. They stay within a small range of pastel colours such as pale pink, blue, white and cream which adds to the simplicity and appeal in my opinion. I also think that all of the colours simply go well together and personally it's a magazine I would go for. I chose the two black and white images of Lana Del Rey and Johnny Depp because I love how black and white images look and I knew that that was how I wanted the images that I took and used in my magazine to be. They're simple and go with the neutral theme whilst still standing out enough for them to draw attention. The other things I included such as the netting material, candy floss and the ice cream were just images that I felt went with the overall colour scheme and 'feel' that I was trying to achieve whilst looking quite pale and delicate which is similar to the Oh Comely magazine and some things I've seen online etc that I thought looked good.
