Mock up Front Cover

This is my very first draft of the mock up for my front cover of my music magazine. I have decided very carefully where everything goes and so everything has a reason and a point of being on my front cover, whether that being the pull quote by my headline artist or the cover lines that draw you in. My cover is inspired by issues of NME, as i have looked at a few different magazines to make this overall front cover.
First of all i have decided to make my masthead big and bold across the top of the page.
