Regional music magazine, feedback please

rdc_1985

Not too sure if this is in the right forum, but here goes anyway.

I’ve been given a University brief to design or re-design a magazine of my choice.

I chose to re-design a regional Music magazine, please find attached my first attempts of the redesign.

Any feedback, good or bad is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, RDC

First, save this with spreads and re-upload it.

You can’t think of any better way to handle the headlines than to just use all caps in a chunky display face? And why is your masthead just a rehash of the headlines? Why does the cover look like an amateur magazine likely to be printed at a copy shop?
