HOUSE STYLEThe house style within VIBE magazine consists of setting the word contents out over 3 lines as well as lining up the image and text symmetrically. The V in the background is also consistent throughout each issue.

IMAGERYThis page features only one Image from the main article featured inside the issue. The image takes up almost half of the page and the features of the magazine frame the image. This creates a simple and sophisticated feel to the magazine.

DESIGN BALANCEThe page is split so the image takes up half of the page with the features and masthead on the other side. The page is well balanced and looks symmetrical. The simple use of one image makes sure the page is not too distracting for the reader.

DESIGN PRINCIPLEThe rule of thirds has not been used as there is negative space in the top left corner and around the image. The Guttenberg design principle has been applied in some ways as the masthead and features are placed in the strong fallow area, ensuring the reader will be attracted to reading them.

HOUSE STYLEThe house style within Q magazine consists of the red, black and white colour scheme and the small image of the front cover in the corner of the page. In each issue written features take up a third of the page with images from articles taking up the rest of the space. A review always features at the bottom.

IMAGERYThis page features multiple images of artists and articles. The size of the images signifies the importance of the article. All of the images used fit in with the red and black colour scheme signifying that this magazine features mostly rock music.

DESIGN PRINCIPLESThis contents page uses the rule of thirds to ensure that the page looks neat and precise. The page is split into three with features in one third and images taking up the other two. This page also uses the Guttenberg Design Principle as the main image on the page is featured in the primary optical area and the list of features are in the strong fallow area.

DESIGN BALANCEThis page is well balanced as the text and images are well spaced out with no overcrowding in certain areas. All areas of the page are covered.
