Headline-
This will be the main headline of the
magazine (950 BHP Soarer), in this case, a
Japanese car. This
is important as it tells the reader who or what is featured in the magazine. The
text appears to be bold and in fluorescent colours, perhaps in an effort to entice the
reader with such an impressive figure and to showcase an aggressive style, also backed up by the fact that the font is in italics.
Lead Story-
This will be the main story within the
magazine. i.e. what people see first when buying the magazine. Will most be
likely be related to the headline. Will most likely be big or controversial news.
This shares the same fonts and colours as the headline as it shows details of
the same level of importance and controversy.
Cover lines-
These are additional headlines featured down the side or at the bottom of the cover. In this case, more information about the topic of Japanese cars, which appears to be the topic of the magazine. Can also show more information, perhaps less important or less popular topics. This maintains the same colour scheme but is in smaller font. It is in the same colour as the magazine is again looking to maintain an aggressive style. It will be in a smaller font as it may not attract as many customers and it is clearly a less impressive statistic.

Masthead-
This will most likely be the name of the
magazine. In this case, Banzai.
This
is obviously vital as readers will need to know the name of the magazine.
This is the typical Banzai logo. It shows an aggressive and bold style, perhaps
to match the cars featured in the magazine and what power they possess and the
speed they are capable of. This is essential for the audience in question. The colour scheme for this area of the magazine cover is red and white. This will be because the topic of the magazine is about Japanese cars and the Japanese flag is Red and White.
Photograph-
This will be a photograph of the headline and/or the lead story. In this case, the photograph is of the ‘950 BHP Soarer’, the main topic featured in both the headline and the lead story. I know from my own knowledge that this is an impressive power level for a car of this size. The picture is fairly large, and covers the majority of the magazine cover, this will most likely be to attract more customers. The connotations of the photograph are powerful and fast. The magazine is related to the tuning of cars, shown by the fact that the engine is on display and the car appears to be in a garage. This will be to display the engine which possesses such an impressive statistic.
