Take one

This is my idea for the front cover and although I like the design of the picture I think its too dark and once I have done the rest of the text it might look overpowering and too serious. So I continued to change it and have resulted with this design...

I really like this design because although it looks quite sophisticated the bright blue writing and the lightning add a twist that I want my magazine to portray. However it was suggested that I add some writing across the top and a date for the magazine. The style of the photo and mast head was inspired by the layout of other magazines because it is a very simple and traditional design.

The layout of the artist cover and little details I used as inspirtation for my design.
