Tone

a. In these four images of various magazine layouts tone is very much apparent. In image number one the tone of the different colors shown (blue, yellow, pink) are not as strong to exhibit the feeling of the article. The article exhibits more of a "fluffy" feel and is quite the opposite of the feeling in image number four where the tones of red are very strong and exert a very different feeling. The tones of various reds in image four illustrate a strong and direct feeling. 

b. In image number three, tone works with shape in which they relate to each other throughout the layout. The color yellow in the layout is a reoccurring theme and shape in the layout. The typography has a bright yellow and a similar tone of yellow is shown in various box shapes in the layout, creating a unity in the piece. 

Color

a. In each of these images color is represented in various ways. In image number one color is used to separate the different parts of the article and to decipher what you are reading. The various parts of the article are separated by color to help the reader know they are reading about something different. Color is used as an aspect of unity in image number three because the type is in the same red as the red in the lining of the dress the model is wearing on the left side of the page. This color unity helps the viewer connect the pieces as a whole. 

b. Color interacts with line in each of these images. In image one the different lines or scalloping of color in the layout work with color to create differentiation. In image two the block line of subtle peach/nude color across the page adds to the layout. The lines of color in image three separate the different elements in the layout (the yellow lines).
