Kerrang Magazine House style

What is House style?

House style is where a magazine uses similar layout and structure. For example, Masthead Font, Colours, logo, placement of pictures and location of barcode.

House Style is used by nearly every magazine on the market today to give each magazine a specific look and layout.

This is usually used so the reader can tell that it is the magazine they are after if they are familiar with the layout and font types of the magazine.

In my opinion House style is effective and makes it so that the audience don’t have to look around for there magazine choice because they know what to expect the front cover to be like.
