Magazine Front Cover and Contents Page

I took ideas from other magazine front covers and contents pages such as OK! and Kerrang to give me an idea for the layout and the style of a front cover and contents page. I used publisher mainly but also paint to make some edits to the background image. I struggled with uploading it on to the blog ! But also found it difficult to put it all together so that there was not too much nor too little white space. I would use better quality images if I were to improve it.
