House Style Project Analysis

We were assigned groups in which we conducted an analysis on different magazines that used different techniques for their house styles.
There were ten groups in the class, and we all had different magazine brands. We were given three different issues to compare and contrast. In watching different group presentations, I learned about how brands use different fonts and positioning of words to create their house styles. For example, the positioning of the main font and the features. I also learned about how different colors on the front page help to attract readers. For example, red attracts the eye which is ideal on a magazine front cover. Furthermore, there are target audiences for magazines in which a brand's content is geared toward.  Hyperbolic words and rhetorical questions are also used on the front covers to allure readers; in using these techniques, readers become interested in the main content featured in the magazine.
Audio played a critical role in the presentations. Many groups' audio were of poor quality which distracted from the information being given. Furthermore, communication is vital. Some groups were repetitive in the analysis, and it became redundant.
The house style project analysis served as a learning experience in which we learned how to compare and contrast different features on magazines and how to improve our presenting skills.
