For my magazine I chose a house style using the colours black, white, red and dark grey/brown. I used only 4 colours as common convention throughout the style models I have looked at only use 2-4 colours throughout their house style.
I used the whites to show the 'best' articles in my magazine as this is the colour I used for my font. As well as this, white is a common colour that can stand out as well as can show small writing to not be very important like in the top right hand corner where it states "January 2017", "Issue 14" and "£4.99" This also shows to be less important as the font size is small and in 'regular' rather than 'bold'
As well as this I made sure that my footer was slightly a different colour so it was more visible to my target audience and that it was a different part to the magazine, as this states artist names and what type of artist will take be the genre of my magazine.
The red throughout my magazine allows me to break up text and headlines as well as making certain text stand out. I used this throughout the section stating "Chart topper" and the wrote underneath "Beyonce..." as this was less important than "Chart topper"
I also made sure to add the logo 'LF' in the bottom left hand corner of each page to make sure that it is visibly part of my magazine. As well as making sure to add the website next to that on the double page spread
