XXL magazine -Front cover analysis

Analysis:


The front cover of the XXL magazine show ‘The new wave’ which is stated clearly through the main cover line.
A consistent colour scheme is shown as there are 3 main colours which are, white, red and blue.
The cover stars are all framed in mid/long shots and have direct communication with the audinece due to eye contact at eye level.
The mise-en-scene show that they are all wearing some type of expensive jewellery indicating their wealth. They are all wearing white which could show they are all as ‘one’ and to create a more appealing effect for the audience. The hip-hop genre is shown from their postures and attitudes, e.g. caps, hand symbols and ripped clothing which emphasise the fierce, modern music genre.
Small cover lines are placed on the right
The masthead is on the top left, and is slightly covered however it is widely recognisable as a brand and therefore doesn’t matter if it gets covered.
The audinece consists of the gender being 78% male and 22% female the average ages being 29.
