                     Making progress through these blogs and I've been educating myself on many different styles tastes and genres, even including certain things like the content they carry and their production. In this blog, we talk about the demographics of a magazine. The features and attributes of the readership that a specific magazine targets or draws in are referred to as magazine demographics.

House Style

                                   As I transition into my magazine and understand the features it needs, I am now starting to see that there are a lot of components that a magazine needs for it to be proper and with that view we will start off with “House Styles”.
