The masthead is in big block capitals which has complete contrast on the rest of the magazine. This magazine was published during the summer hence why the masthead is written in orange. The central image, Oraine Barrett, is overlapping the middle of the masthead which suggests that the magazine is very well known; the whole masthead doesn't have to be seen.
Most of the cover lines are in different colours or fonts; they all individually stand out, every story is equally promoted. Just above the bar code in the bottom left hand corner states the models name then a description on who he is 'Caribbean international face of the decade', this emphasizes that he is a worldwide sensation. This will make a lot of people buy the magazine because he is the 'international face of the decade'; a lot of readers will know him or want to know why he is so successful.
The central image is Oraine Barrett, a model from Caribbean. He is glazing straight at the camera/ the viewer, inviting them in. His white attire, clashed with the white background makes his face the reader's main attraction as it is the complete contrast. This is because he is a internationally known so the magazine will have a wide audience. His white outfit has connotations with luxury and class; the reader will feel upper class while reading it. The clothing he is wearing attracts a very wide; he's dressed in a shirt and trousers which attracts wealthy readers as he's appealing to them but he's not ever doing it with a blazer nor a tie which attracts working class readers, this is also emphasized how he's leaning against the wall with his hands in his pockets, this makes him seem cool and laid back.
