Magazine mockup

This is my completed first draft of my music magazine. it has a red house style with blue text for the artist, making this part stand out. there is one secondary image that is very much conventional of music magazines in this genre. 

There are white cover lines that stand out from the background and help provide a contrast to the aforementioned red house style. It has a large masthead that is easily recognisable for this genre and the primary image stands out amongst the cover.

However, the lack of any real background obviously detaches from the main ideals and otherwise fairly good standard of a first draft. I believe I have followed the genre conventions and only now, for my final magazine, need to improve the quality and photoshopping of the main image.
