- The title is bold, in capital letters and bright red.
- The main celebrity it features is the largest aspect of the cover, her photograph covers the name of the magazine and takes up the majority of the right side of the page. The way which the photograph covers the title implys that the company is so well known that they don't need to display their name fully.
- The photograph is of well known celebrity Megan Fox. The feature itself is about the releace of Transformers 2, and Megan Fox is one of the main characters in the film. The photo of her topless would attract a male audience more than a female audience. The text on the magazine cover has slightly sexual connotations which work well with the image, featuring words such as 'hot', 'one-on-one' and 'wanted'.
- The caption 'TRON REBOOTED' at the top right of the cover is referring to a sci-fi film created by Disney in the 80's that is being remade in 2010. The film is about people living inside of computers. This links well with the Transformers feature, giving the magazine a sci-fi theme.
- The sci-fi theme is carried on in the bottom left corner of the front cover, through the referral to 'Star Trek', 'Angels & Demons' and 'Wolverine'. This again would appeal to a wider male audience rather than female.
- The colours that are used also hint at a sci-fi theme and a male audience, mainly using silver, blue and black.
- The name 'Megan Fox' is one of the largest pieces of text on the front, along with the name of the magazine. This suggests that It is one of the most important aspects of the magazine.
- The pricing and websites are the smallest parts of the magazine, as they would be least attractive to the customer.
