I've chosen the magazine 'Kerrang!' as it is a Rock magazine
that also heavily features Punk, Pop Punk and Metal music. The house style is
mostly the same throughout all of the Kerrang! magazine issues an example of
this would be the masthead, with the masthead being in capitals, having cracks
ruining across its entire length and being at least partially covered by an
artist/artists due to the magazine having been around for a fairly long time
and being very popular so people will recognise the magazine even if the
masthead is partially covered this consistency in the masthead makes the
magazine seem professional and makes it easily recognisable, the only
difference when it comes to the masthead being the chosen colour of each
particular issue with the mastheads colour appearing to be chosen so it
contrasts well with the background colour eg: red and white, black and white
etc but it always stands out by being bold and colourful. The main image of
each issue is always artist/artists to show that the issue contains information
on this particular person or group of people. Coverlines are always to the side
or bottom of the magazine cover so they can be easily seen giving more
information into what the magazine contains yet being out of the way of the
masthead or the face of whoever is the main image so it doesn't obstruct the
view of passers by Kerrang! appears to have a fairly consistent house style
throughout with heavy variation to how the cover is organised here and there.
