Textually analysed magazine front cover

At the top of the page there is black text on a yellow strip, this way the text will stand out to the reader. There is a small picture of the racing car being talked about in the text next to it. Underneath is the masthead which includes a big title of the magazine in white which clearly stands out from the red behind. It also has the date, price and website address. There is a small flag picture attached to the 'A' letter of the title, giving the effect of a racing title. The last thing included under the title, in the masthead is the short words which mentions the stuff that is involved inside the magazine. Underneath the masthead is a big picture of a F1 racing car which links to the main story. This is shown in big 'slang' words in black on the left of the picture. Under that is the name of an article writer and the different points he has written about. All in white which stands out on the red.

In the bottom right hand corner there is the bar code of the magazine. On the left there is text in bold red and some in black. Both are on the yellow colour used at the top. This stands out yet again to the reader, which mentions two other main stories inside. To the left corner is a picture of a rally car which is connected to the story next to it.

Overall I think it's a good front cover, not packed and understandable. It uses a colour house style throughout. I like this magazine's front cover.
