Magazine Cover

Something i've worked on after checking out my friends photos:

*I DID NOT TAKE THE PHOTO, IT WAS TAKEN BY MY FRIEND JOSH CHOU, WHICH I'VE HAD PERMISSION TO USE!*

and yea C&C would be awsome!

14,99???
wtf? :D :D
and I see that you used only white color as a text.
I think you could try colored version.

The layout is good be the text is placed all over the cover. Try to get some more structure. I guess the picture will be quite empty then, but fill it with something else. Maybe some solid or half solid block's can be added. something like bars for the bottum or the top?

I would use another font. the one u used to type techniques is bad.. :/

I agree with pleymo. The text is everywhere which makes my eye really just draw from one side to the other. You should add a few solid rectangles in there and make it pop.

The font could use some work. It's not making it for me. It just seems a bit too serious for a magazine. Magazines are supposed to be serious but they are also supposed to appeal to younger and older people, and well the font look kind of creepy no matter who you are.

Oh yeah and also Never lower the opqacity on your header. That is your title. How are people going to know what magazine it is if they can't see the logo?
You'd be looking at an ESPN magazine, then buy it. You'd get home and be like ahhhh **** this is actually sportsillustrated.

lol. Nice attempt though, i like the selective coloring you use don the door.

i'll try to come up with a v2 later thx for the C&C guys appreciated!

I like it, not overly flashy and pretty decent layout.
Just need a couple tweaks as suggested above.
