First Thoughts on House Style

-

 


        House style is what keeps a magazine uniformed, and it is also and identifier. A great example would be VOGUE magazine, they always have the same font and size. Another identifier would be that the vogue is always in font of the featured person, like a stamp, it is never behind.

·            House styles may be developed through trial and error, or polling the community for the most liked design. Both of these ways are very effective. The editor can look at multiple designs and pick the best one, or the public can pick the one they like best. The second option seems better seeing how the public is the audience/consumer.

·          House styles may be influenced by their genre in how they display the title. For instance, if the magazine's focus is arts and crafts then that title could be made out of popsicle sticks or yarn. This will help the magazine draw in their readers because they are showcasing their creative ability in coming up with a new idea for every edition. This will also set apart this particular magazine from any other magazine.

For this project I was able to develop my own personal thing, my  own personal branding for this magazine and I really appreciate that.  First with the masthead, I was able to put my masthead on the side and it’s called “Travelscene” so any type of, any story dealing with travel could be the feature story. Just in this case it’s about a kid who is military so she is a teenage nomad. Next, as it comes to color schemes and having images and taking photos I enjoyed the opportunity to do this. It really, really like it was awesome to me. Production skills developing through it.  I would say they have come pretty far, I

How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?  How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?  Personally for my project, my product I create a magazine a travel magazine, but this edition was based on an army brat so you say an “army brat” but basically it’s based on child who is a military kid who is born into a military family and she has been traveling since she was five months old. It represents social groups, the social groups of military kids because it got that  deep dive into her life, and what it was like for her, and it took away the stigma of military kids. Some kids most like the when the stories you hear for asking people for actual questions is that they hate moving, they moved to like 100 places in a year they never get to settle down they ever they don’t have they don’t feel lik

How did you integrate technologies - software, or hardware and online in this project?   There was a lot of editing involved in this project especially when it came to images, having them, even putting filters on images, or trying to get the right, exact right color to have words not collide with pictures on this, on this project. I would definitely say a lot of editing in Photoshop, the main thing for the barcodes it had to be editing to put that on to put a clip art of barcode on there or even the when it came to the feature story having to select pieces of text and have them in individual boxes are supposed to post in the whole thing because it wouldn’t fit.  That’s where it came in like critical, critical thinking of how to make it look right but still trying to make it look like a magazine including images taking
