House Style

A house style is fundamental in the production of a magazine, they are the elements that link the text, the images and the overall context together. They ensure that the magazine fits a certain standard and that there is continuity within the magazines appearance.

The above font is called 'Levis Brush' and is the font i have used throughout as my magazine name. The rest of the text in the magazine is written in courier and i ensure that this same font is used throughout the magazine.

The front cover and contents page, i feel, show continuity and a sense of a house style. The colour, itself, is dark, using blues and greys and this is apparent through both pages. The font 'stands out' against the dark background because i have used white, it is not awkward or difficult for the magazines audience to read.
