1)the house colours are dark red black and light grey, the font style is sans-serif this gives it a simple look and makes it look more bold to the reader. the images are anti stereotypical because hes wearing a t shirt which his very casual and he dosent look like the most ripped guy. similarly on the double page spreads they dont show ripped guys. the layout is simple and isn't complex or chaotic. similarly the font stays the same throughout the double page spreads

7)you can tell this because the font stays consistent. this makes you tell its all from the same magazine.
. style: the style needs to stay similar throughout and basic. this then makes it look more stereotypical. the use f up to 4 colours for the font cover( this may change through out the double page spreads). up to one puff because if there are more it would look to chaotic which we dont want.
.typography: needs to stay simple and basic, block capital for the masthead, it could be blocky serif or a sans-serif this keeps it simple. the colour could be anything from red or blue. this would keep it simple and fresh. the more fresh the better because its a health hand fitness magazine.
.image: the image should be a close or mid shot because thats the stereotypical shot for a fitness magazine. the image could be sterotypical jacked person or a non stereotypical not jacked guy.
.masthead: this is always located at the top behind the main image, the style is usually serif and very large.
.the cover layout is very simple one main image no other image is present usually, its got about 5,6,7 cover lines so not many. the layout of the double page spread is simple usually 2-5 images this can vary on what the page is about if its food its usually lots more its got up to 3 articles whcih can be long or not.
.the content is how to loose weight fast and how to get abs. also how to eat healthy and live healthy. how to boost that health and feel better.
. the colour pallet is usually 3,4 colours these are basic some are yellow white and black and others are white black blue and orange so they can vary and look different.
