MAIN TASK: Construction Log: Keeping A House Style Throughout My Magazine...

I wanted my magazine to have a general house style, and I wanted it to have a visible flow of fonts and colour use etc. throughout the pages.
Therefore, I used the same typeface/fonts and the same font size where appropriate.
Because the main colour theme of my magazine was green, yellow and red, I wanted to insure that these colours all matched on every page, so I paid special attention to the CMYK code and wrote down the separate percentages for my colour choices.
The three main colours I used had the following CMYK codes...

My Chosen Yellow -
C- 06%
M- 00%
Y- 88%
K- 00%

My Chosen Red -
C- 01%
M- 97%
Y- 94%
K- 00%

My Chosen Green -
C- 40%
M- 00%
Y- 100%
K- 00%

I made sure that I stuck to these colour codes on every page of my magazine, because I knew that both Quark Express and Adobe Photoshop could convert these codes into matching colours.
