Back to the drawing board

 After much feedback, I decided to redesign the cover page of my first draft. What I took from it is that, most music magazines, including the ones I attached in my inspiration post, use a direct mode of address. This was lacking in my cover page and I feel it's a very important element that I should definitely incorporate. Furthermore, vibrant colors are visible on the cover lines and the size of the text is quite small to draw attention to the main image. All these factors will be taken into consideration when I am working on my redesign.
