First Thoughts on House Style

Blog Post #7

I believe that house style is significant for magazines to have because they use specific editing rules/conventions which are used by writers and editors to ensure stylistic consistency in a particular publication or series of publications. House style can also be used in newspapers, journals, websites, and books.

Basically, a house style is a set of rules which state, for example, how all magazines in that series will be formatted, the colors, font style, and size text that will be used. 

House style is essential to use in all magazines in a series or genre. The readers need to know the identity of what this specific genre or magazine series looks like, so it is easily identifiable instead of a magazine genre or series having different colors and fonts that look messy and unprofessional.
