XXL Magazine is one of Americas most popular magazine, based around Hip Hop and Hip Hop culture, which attracts both genders between 14+. The XXL logo is very simple but stands out due to the font and colours used, which stay the same on throughout the magazine, regardless of the colour scheme used.
As you can see this issue main article is about the biggest selling Hip Hop artist Eminem! The picture used is very aggressive which fits in well with the Hip Hop culture and attracts the audience, this is something I may consider using for the magazine front cover I'm going to create. A mid shot has been used which is then blown up to cover the page, which I believe is appropriate and works well.
Like the i-D magazine front cover I analysed earlier, only three colours have been used, which in this case are Black, Red and White. This has convinced me to also only use three colours, which are yet to be chosen, as i believe this well help create the professionalism I am trying to achieve when making my own front cover. Also apart from the logo that never changes, only three diffrent fonts have been used, which creates simpicity which works well with the magazine front cover.
