Ar Yr Awyr (On Air)

Inside the image.

A square cover combines an aerial photograph of a town with a large red helicopter in the foreground and bold, layered lettering. The helicopter fills much of the lower-left and centre: its nose points towards the right, its tail extends off to the left, and its main rotor stretches across the rooftops. The aircraft is seen from above at a slight angle, with dark cockpit windows, white markings and a visible tail rotor. A broad red translucent panel covers the right side of the image, overlaying part of the town and the helicopter’s rotor.

Below, tightly packed pale buildings and streets spread across the lower half of the cover. A green sports pitch and patches of trees are visible among them. The view recedes towards a hazy band of hills and a pale, muted sky at the top. Across the photograph, broad curved bands of yellow and green form a loose circular sweep: one arcs down from the upper right and another crosses the lower part of the scene. The photograph has a busy, compressed appearance, with the bright aircraft standing out sharply against the smaller, varied buildings.

The title occupies most of the upper-left area. “AR YR AWYR” appears in large, tightly spaced white capitals with dark shadowing; below it, “ON AIR” is even larger, in yellow-green capitals with a worn, mottled appearance. Smaller lettering sits at the top right, over the sky, while a second small title in yellow-green is placed below it over the curved bands. The right-hand red panel carries a vertical list of names in white bold capitals. The mixed Welsh and English wording, two-part title and names are integrated directly with the photograph. The image is edge-to-edge, without a separate border. The overall treatment is photographic, with prominent coloured overlays, curved graphic bands and strongly contrasting display type.
