2. Magazine title The magazine title is in bold, so that it stands out on the page. Also, it is the same colour blue as other text on the cover and the collar of Kanye's jumper. This contrasts in well. Layout By having the storylines around the image, it makes the cover look simple, but neat and proffessional Font Different size fonts are used on the front cover. By doing this, it makes the more important storylines stand out as their titles are bigger, and it gives the magazine an edgy look. Image The main image is of Kanye West. This is because the main cover story is about him. The photo is a close up to show his facial expression. Target audience I think that the target audience for this magazine would be young people who like rnb and hip hop music.
3. Magazine title The magazine title “XXL” stands out from the rest of the cover as it is made out of diamonds. This is to show that the magazine is a hip hop magazine and it looks different so it will stand out. Layout The storylines are left aligned down the page. This is to keep the cover image as the main object of the cover, so that people notice the image first out of everything else. Font Different fonts are used on the cover. The main cover story title “Baby and Lil Wayne: Survival Of The Fittest” is the biggest and boldest font used apart from the title so that readers know what the main story in the magazine is going to be about. Image The Image used is a medium close up of rappers Lil Wayne and Baby. I think that this kind of shot has been used so that the attention is drawn to the rappers' tattoos and expensive jewellery. Target audience I think that the target audience for this magazine would be young people who have an interest in rap music.
