Front cover TA 4

This is another edition from XXL magazines, featuring Rick Ross the rap star. The masthead has been placed on the top left but has been changed by colour. The cover story is about Rick Ross, the quote says "THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN TOUCH"
This quote connotes what rick ross is doing by him touching the XXL masthead, it is turing to gold, personally the way they have designed the front cover is clever because they connoted the quote. The golden theme carries on, he's wearing gold necklace chains, also linking to his golden touch they want the reader to see.
The magazine want Rick Ross to look big and golden on the front cover, his facial expression signal this, if we think when the magazine published this edition, we would think this would be the face made by Rick Ross when he saw this front cover, That facial expression would be made, this tells us that he knows his golden touch.
The colour scheme of the front cover is well designed because the whole gold theme goes well with black background, black background of Rick Ross's suit. Meanwhile the red Text goes well as well, the cover lines have been aligned on the right hand side on the right hand side, the reason for this they want the reader to see the image of Rick Ross first and then the cover lines secondaly.
