House Style Throughout Magazine

You can tell that there is house style represented in the magazine "Kerrang" as the colours maintain the same throughout (yellow, white, black, red). Also, the layout and font of the "Contents" and "Introducing" are exactly the same. This is effective because it shows the pages relate to one another as well as making the magazine look professional. The fonts are similar to each other, which make it easy to see that the magazine pages link together. You can see the pages go together because the images are not dissimilar. By this, I mean that the images look the same - for example, if they include an image of a female wearing a pink top and wearing a lot of red lipstick, it would not be suited to the genre and the rest of the magazine. Instead, they have included a rock band, which suggests the genre is rock - therefore, matching the housestyle throughout "Kerrang" magazine. 

The title of the magazine, "NME", is shown at the top of the contents page which is showing the magazine relates to one another. The colours match and continuous throughout the magazine (red, yellow, black, white). This instantly makes the reader engaged as if the colours and fonts were random, it would look unprofessional. Also, it wouldn't be appealing to the audience because they would want the magazine to look appealing, and they wouldn't want to waste their money on an unprofessional, unorganised magazine.

In the magazine "Q", house style is maintained throughout each magazine that they have published/produced. You can see this straight away by the "Q" in the left hand corner in a white font with a red box in the background. Not only do you see this straight away; it is very memorable, which makes it easier to see that this magazine is "Q". The images throughout each of the front page consist of a model placed in the middle of the page, whilst being a close up. This enables you to see the facial expressions quicker, and it shows that these front pages are related to each other. The text is always down the side of the page, with a larger text at the bottom, preferable in the middle of the page. This is effective because it engages the reader and makes it easy to see that these front pages are all from "Q" magazine.

The contents pages throughout the "VIBE" magazine all relate to each other through the use of images, text etc. For example, the letter "V" in the background symbolises the beginning of the word "Vibe", which makes it easy for the reader to notice. It is normally placed in the left hand side, in a transparent aspect. This makes the reader know that these contents pages are from the same magazine. As well as this, the word "contents" as separated into "co", "nten" and "ts". This is done through each contents page that "VIBE has published, therefore, continuing the house style throughout the distribution process. The images vary from a medium shot, close up and a long shot. However, there is always text along the left or ride hand side of the page, showing the features of the magazine.

House style is shown throughout the double page spreads of the magazine "Spin". We can see this by the image, which always covers half of the double page spread. As well as this, the image is in black and white but can vary in a close up and a medium shot. You can see that these double page spreads are from the same magazine as the font of the titles are the same, and in a black font. "Florence and The Machine" and "The Black Keys" are positioned in different places, however, you can still see that these match because they are in the same font, colour and size. At the beginning of the article, there is a circle  (black) with the letter (in whitE) of the first word. This is done throughout both of these examples, suggesting that the housestyle has been consistent throughout "Spin" magazine. The colours have also stayed the same, as the only colours that are seen in these double page spreads are black and white. This is effective because no other colour stands out and it doesn't make the pages dissimilar from the usual "Spin" magazine.
