Xxl magazine contents page always has the celebrity angle of gaze straight at us. The reason for this is because it makes the celebrity seem powerful and stand out more. I also noticed that Xxl slant their text on some of the magazines when they use a long shot of their celebrity. Another thing that I had actually noticed about Xxl contents page was that the main articles was always in bold text to make it stand out more. The last thing that I also noticed when I de-constructed these magazines was that Xxl always gave a dark colour scheme to match the front cover.

Xxl magazine always has a lot of  similarities in its front covers. The first thing I had noticed on the different type of magazine covers Xxl had was that they always kept  the title on the top left of the magazine, as almost as if this is there trademark position. Another thing that I had noticed when I de-constructed these two front covers was that the males was always looking straight at you where as the females may be looking to the side or in an other direction. Xxl magazine also tends to keep the artist who is on the front of the magazine have there name on the bottom of the magazine. This has been done on all the issues I have seen and is also another trademark of the magazine. The finale thing I would like to talk about is the colour theme the magazine normally has.It normally contains red, white and black  but on some covers may have blue as the background colour.

MISSED YOU - Nathan Mercado (live keys & vocal demo)

The Nathan Mercado task was a very intresting one. The task was to get the biggest fan base to turn up to Nathans gig at norbury manor, we was split up into 4 different groups and each of us had are own strategy to get the most people to turn up. The way we judged this was each person had there own colour ticket and the group with the most tickets at the end one. 

The different types of advertising was things such as posters and trailers. The advertising got very competitive between groups but overall was a good laught http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsP863e4Whc&feature=plcp&context=C3475b5fUDOEgsToPDskKwTCnDp2YicrstkDWHQQDF
