I think I'm losing it, I've looked everywhere, but I just can't find it...OH THERE YOU ARE!! Welcome...back, I wasn't looking for you, no...I was looking for my...uhm MY GLASSES!!..."where are MY glasses?" ahhh gotcha, anyways lets get back to discussing house styles, well we already discussed it, so lets look at some examples,
Yes right away I think you guys can see the general theme and use of house styles in this magazine. It's pretty easy to spot. For one we can typically see an image of an individual in the cover, the magazine logo, in this case being XXL, and the use of large headings typically at the bottom left with a barcode at the bottom right.
Lets go over some more analyzed and high quality examples,
These are some very nicely analyzed examples and they easily searchable on the internet so credit to the google search "house style in magazine".
Anyways we can see that the Vogue magazine is clearly very streamlined in it's production and publication as is evident by how similar each magazine is published. I mean in each analysis we see the use of blank space, large headers typically at the bottom, models in the middle with their names given. We also see the magazine name at the top, the date typically on the top left under the title, and a cover or sell line usually on the left or right of the model.
So we already know that house styles is the standardization of development in media and magazines and this is evidently clear in the vogue magazine, after all they can't keep reinventing the wheel and they need to establish a brand so this is an effective way to establish uniqueness while also standardizing magazines for efficiency of publication. It's pretty cool and interesting to be honest, I might just try it with how I make my blog covers, standardized. Look forward to it haha.
Anyways that's all the time I have for you today beautiful people. Next blog we'll be diving in deeper with our magazine research.
Thanks for Reading!!
