The magazine cover features a black and white photo of the cover star, Wrench 32, taking up most of the front cover to draw attention. The masthead is in a simple font and mostly visible above the cover photo. Additional cover lines are placed to the left in red and black to match the color scheme. The graphic feature stands out from the theme to draw attention to its message. Overall, the cover successfully draws the eye to the main story through photo placement and uses of color and font while providing relevant details.
