First Draft of My Front Cover

This is the first draft of my front cover for my magazine 'Smoke and Mirrors', it is not the final draft and I had some editing to do on the layout and adding more articles onto the page as it looks a little bare right now. I also need to edit the background a little as it is a little too dark for the style that I wanted. I can easily do this on Photoshop and change the brightness and contrast so that it doesn't look as dark and dull looking. I am also going to change the colour of the title as it does not fit in with the colour scheme of the magazine that I want to create. I would also like to make the font size a little bigger on the articles that are on the side of the page.
