House Style - a company's preferred manner of presentation and layout of written material. Magazines use various things to create a house style. For instance, font types, logo, colouring and the layout.

Kerrang’s house style appeals to its target audience of rock and heavy metal fans because they house styles shows a lot of black and dark strong colours which stereotypically rock fans like. Also, it appeals to its target audience because the magazine has a big reputation of including interviews with famous bands that people are interested in.

NME’s house style consists of red, yellow, black and white. This is effective because all the colours stand out next to one another. NME’s target audience is indie rock fans and the house style appeals to the audience because the colour red for example is a very original colour which could represent indie music because indie music is very original because it doesn't include lots of technology. 

We heart pop has a target audience for young people from 8-12. This is shown with the colour pink and the artists that are shown on the cover are like by younger people such as One Direction and Jessie J. The colour scheme matches the target audience because bright colours such as pink are stereotypically liked by young girls which will appeal them to buy the magazine as One Direction's fanbase is often young girls.
