The magazine manages to achieve a unified house style. On each page of the magazine, the page numbers, date, and the title of the magazine is displayed (unless it is an advertisement). As well as this, the colour scheme is similar throughout mainly focusing on the colours red and white. There is also a mixture of sans serif and non sans serif font within the magazine. The reason for using the same colour code is so as the reader doesn't think they are reading something from another magazine. If they were to pick up this magazine with white, black, red and gold on the cover, then they may be puzzled if they were to see other colours such as blue and green inside on the main articles.
