The main image is of Justin Timberlake dressed smartly, but still quite casual to appeal to upper class people, mainly class b and some class a. The fact that his top is slightly un buttoned sexualises the image so that the magazine appeals to women as well as men as it is an attractive image. The image is the biggest thing on the cover to draw peoples attention to the magazine. Also, the colours coincide with the rest of the colours on the magazine so that it seems quite simple and mature and sophisticated instead of having a lot going on. The colours on the cover of this magazine are very masculine to appeal to a male audience.  This magazine would target an audience of men aged between 25 and 40. This is because this is a mature, sophisticated magazine which advertises mens fashion and living as it talks about Justin Timberlake dressing down in their men of the year issue. This engages men to buy this magazine so that they can look like jim as he is an icon. We also know the magazine is about mens fashion and living as the slogan is 'look sharp-live smart'. The font used on this magazine cover is simple to show maturity and seriousness.
