Magazine front cover analysis.

The Mast Head is at the top of the page in bold, capital letters to make it stand out, the colour of it is in white which is a neutral colour so that both males and females can read it. Above this there is a Puff, which is a promotional selling point and shows that this magazine is very popular and successful. The main heading tells the audience that Tom Cruise has his biggest interview featured in this magazine. The picture of Tom Cruise is an action shot, which is another promotional selling point as he is a very famous actor, so having a well known actor as the main image and the main story will make the magazine more popular, the image is more to the right which pulls the focus to the main heading.
The main heading background looks like a golden ticket which implies that if you purchase this magazine you are winning something amazing.    
The bar code is really small and in the lower right hand corner so people won't be looking for the price straight-away, they'll be looking at what is in the magazine first, and if they like the sound of what is in it, they'll probably want to buy the magazine regardless of the price. The colour's of the magazine are red, white and gold, which are neutral colours, but they are also powerful colours, they make the magazine look like it is the best. At the bottom of the page they have put other stories that the magazine have covered, which shows that the audience will be getting a lot more than just one story for their money.
