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.
