4. XXL FRESHMAN
This is a hip hop magazine basically they get new
revealing artist that have talent like these men on the
Front cover they are all new artist. Xxl Freshman
Magazine is an America hot magazine in the Music
industry. Tis magazine is targeted at teenagers and
people Who have a big interest in the music world. On
this magazine It shows recent updates in the music
industry such as new artist As mentioned earlier on
also new music and many more.

5. The logo shows the viewers that
there cover line is moving fast
because jet refers to a ‘jet plane’
and they are extremely fast it also
refers to ‘alone’ because it’s a
private jet. They also made the font
of the logo look like the fonts of
words you see on a plane.
The selling line tells us that drake is
Not your typical rapper they are trying
To tell us that drake Is different to
Every other rapper in maybe mature wise.

6. This women right here in the picture is Megan fox
The reason why they put her on the
Cover of rolling stones is because
She is sexy and she would attract a lot of viewers
Mostly men that’s why they put her on the cover
So they can sell a lot of magazines and
As you can see the selling line it says
‘Americas sexiest model’ this will
definitely attract a lot of males. It is not just the
Name that will sell t is also the costume she is
Wearing in our days all publications now when they
Put a girl on a front cover they try make them as
sexy as possible like this for example they way
They do that is buy putting some fake tan on,
Getting their hair done and picking out sexy outfits
to wear on the photo shoots his is also how they
Attract customers to buy he magazine.

7. In my opinion I think that a cover line is
Something random on the cover for
Example ‘ WTF harry potter joins gallows!’
That is a cover line where it is advertising
Something different to the main image on
The front cover.
On this front cover magazine
The selling line is…
‘This is the best show out there’
What they are trying to say is
Basically what it shows in bold
Text in-between the two
Commas. To go into more detail
It is saying is relating to the
Audience saying if you got to a
Green day concert you will have
The best concert ever because
They are great heavy performers.

8. The selling line tells us that what artist to
Watch that are doing great with a list of
names just below. It all matches with the
Logo of the magazine NME which stands
For new musical express you see how it
Comes together, new artist… new music
The main cover line also matches together with
The main image of Rihanna. You can see how
Rihanna is posing like she telling someone off
And if you read the text properly as you look at the
Image you can see there is a match with the pose.

9. The comparison between theses to magazines covers
NME and JET is they are both targeted at the same audience which is the
Genres list below like HIP HOP, RNB and POP. On the cover of both magazines
It has two popular pop, hip hop and rnb artist Rihanna and drake who are famous
For their crazy music and had gained a big interest in the music industry. The
Reason why you get people buying magazines with people like these on he covers
Is because they like them the whey they act and the way they dress in the fans point
Of view they are signified as an idol to them. The comparisons between the two magazine
Is they are both o do with music and gossip in the music industry
