This is an issue of the film magazine 'Total Film', which features one of the main characters from the X-Men franchise, Wolverine.
The first thing that my eyes are drawn to on this cover is the image of the cover artist. The X-Men films are very popular and were originally part of a comic book series. I like how the producers of the magazine has split the page in two and have made the left side comic book style, such as the left side of Wolverine's face, and have made the right side of the page as the actors in their roles as the comic book characters.
This theme is carried out not just for the cover stars face but also the characters at the bottom of the page.
The shot of Wolverine is a close-up which challenges the conventions of a typical magazine cover and makes the image seem more tense and suspenseful.
The colour scheme that has been used has been kept very simple, using only the colours blue and yellow which relates to the comic book theme as these two colours are very popular within them. The writing has been kept white so that it stands out compared to the colours.
A skyline has been used to show the audience that this is a comic book edition to the magazine and that it will be reviewing movie interpretations of the comics.
The sell lines have been used to attract a larger audience by showing what else the magazine will include.
A puff has been used to make the page seem more busy and to show that the magazine includes 70 comic book films, which will make fans of this genre want to buy the magazine.
The masthead has been placed at the top of the page and is very large showing that it is the most important text on the whole page. The outline has been made black so that it stands out even more from the background, this is good because if a customer is looking for this particular magazine then they will be able to find it with no trouble whatsoever.
