Hello Everyone! Welcome back to my blog! For the next couple of blogs I'll be focusing on different aspects of magazines.
For this blog, I'll just be introducing what "House Styles" are within a magazine.
A magazine's house style is a set of fundamental guidelines it adheres to while creating any of its covers. For example, the masthead, font, colors, photo sizes or placements, headers, footers, date, barcode, etc. Magazines typically stick to a small number of font styles and reuse them for various purposes. The headline, for instance, may always use the same font but the cover lines might use a different font but would still be used regularly throughout issues. Since this would be how the company often presents their magazines, the fonts won't typically be altered for very long extended periods of time, letting readers and viewers know that this is their magazine. Nearly all magazines in the market employ the house style, which offers a very diverse appearance for all various genres.
Stay tuned for my next blog where I'll show picture & examples of magazines and their different house styles <3.
