This is an issue of the film magazine 'Premiere', in which Will Ferrell is the cover star.
The first thing that my eyes are drawn to on this cover is Will Ferrell due to his striking pose and the fact that he is in the center of the page. He is also looking straight at the camera, giving the audience a direct mode of address. In the photo he is holding a skate which relates to his film 'Blades of Glory' in which he plays an ice skating performer, he is wearing a green and glittery outfit and the pose that he is doing is seductive which relates to his character in the film. The camera shot that is used is a mid-shot which is usually a convention of a magazine front cover.
The colours that are used in the magazine are black, white and yellow. These are simple colours but are effective as they do not draw any attention away from the main attraction of the cover. They also make the magazine appeal to both male and female. The font that has been used is very clear and easy to read which helps to advertise the magazine to its potential customers.
The skyline shows that the magazine is not just interested in actors but all aspects of film, in this case it's film directors.
The masthead is in clear writing and is placed at the top of the page, showing that it is on of the main things on the cover. The name makes it clear to the audience that this is a magazine within the style of film, due to premieres being a very important part in the release of an upcoming film.
The sell lines on the cover relate to films that the audience "need" to see, which is good promotion. They also include lots of famous actors which will appeal to potential customers when they are deciding whether to buy the magazine or not.
