Front Cover Layout

This is my layout for the front cover of my magazine, I am really happy with what I have done and I feel that after looking at a lot of front covers I have made a cover that shows influence from these other front covers. I wanted a pretty simple layout for my cover as I didn't want it to be filled with text and lettering. I feel that most rock genre magazines stick to a simple layout and house style so I did too. I may have to alter may layout though when creating it if it doesn't match what I an expecting this cover to look like.
