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.

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 tryingTo tell us that drake Is different toEvery other rapper in maybe mature wise.

This women right here in the picture is Megan foxThe reason why they put her on the Cover of rolling stones is becauseShe is sexy and she would attract a lot of viewersMostly men that’s why they put her on the cover So they can sell a lot of magazines andAs you can see the selling line it says‘Americas sexiest model’ this will definitely attract a lot of males. It is not just theName that will sell t is also the costume she isWearing in our days all publications now when theyPut a girl on a front cover they try make them as sexy as possible like this for example they wayThey 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 theyAttract customers to buy he magazine.

In my opinion I think that a cover line isSomething random on the cover forExample ‘ WTF harry potter joins gallows!’That is a cover line where it is advertisingSomething different to the main image on The front cover.

On this front cover magazineThe selling line is…‘This is the best show out there’ What they are trying to say isBasically what it shows in boldText in-between the two Commas. To go into more detailIt is saying is relating to theAudience saying if you got to a Green day concert you will haveThe best concert ever becauseThey are great heavy performers.

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 standsFor new musical express you see how it Comes together, new artist… new music

The main cover line also matches together withThe main image of Rihanna. You can see howRihanna is posing like she telling someone offAnd if you read the text properly as you look at theImage you can see there is a match with the pose.

On the cover of both magazinesIt 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. TheReason why you get people buying magazines with people like these on he coversIs because they like them the whey they act and the way they dress in the fans pointOf view they are signified as an idol to them. The comparisons between the two magazineIs they are both o do with music and gossip in the music industry
