xxl magazine front cover analysis


The mast head is slightly blocked by Nas which gives him superiority over the magazine. But that is common within the XXL company. In addition the three colors are also quite similar throughout their issues. And it's usually, black, white and red, which reflects and matches it's logo. Without a doubt the image is quite dark and gives an impression of a 'bad boy' which matches the cover line "only the strong survive". It matches due to the fact that it means that you've been through a lot to get where you at. Another connotation that I thought is the cross on his necklace which could be inferred that he had to have a lot of belief and faith. There's a barcode and price. Like every magazine has. It has around two types of fonts and they are all sans-serif.
