House Style

As for the house style, it is one of the important things that I was informed about when I first started to construct my magazine, which is making sure that when you look at the magazine you see that they all belong together. So with this in mind is about being able to put the magazine together without being told that they are both from the same magazine. I managed to try and keep this in my mind so I have kept with up with three main colours which are Purple, Blue and Black, at the front of the magazine there is the title which is in blue together with some parts of the text right at the bottom, I would say that the information at the bottom reflects the three colours as bits of it are in black, blue and purple.  Why I chose to have this colours is due to the fact that I knew I had to balance things out on my magazine as in relates to the target audience being both male and females.

Being a hip hop/R N B magazine and with the research I managed to do, I wanted to make the front cover stick with my house style but also have other colours due to the genre. But as the house style I made it recognisable through some of the information displayed on it.

Looking at the contents page where I still have managed to keep the same flow of colours, not only this but the font style sticking to just two which is seen in both the contents page and double page spread. The background of the front cover is the wall effect and this was due to the help from the image location, and with a few editing of it made it turn out to be a good background. As for the contents page there is the grey/purple sort of background which is the same one as on the Double page spread, I wanted to have that plain background because I was trying to make the magazine to look good and also kept simple.
