Drafting and planning

I have been given feedback on my front page:

To improve on my front page to make it much better for when it's the real thing, I've been given advice to:

• Make sure that all of the cover lines are the same colour (burgundy) and this will create symbiosis between them and the masthead
• Make sure that the same cover line is clear that it's altogether - get rid of the spaces in between to make them stand out and connect
• Get rid of the negative space in the bottom left to make it seem fuller
• Get rid of the cover line about the iTunes voucher, you would not find this on a front page or in a magazine... choose a different pug e.g. Free Tiesto poster inside
• Centralise the anchorage text and make it all white to look professional and stand out

If I do all of the above my magazine will be successful.  I will have clearly followed the generic conventions of a music magazine and it should hopefully look like a real edition of mixmag.

I am going for a replica of this issue...

Although my colour scheme is different, I'd like to produce something just like this. It looks extremely professional and interesting.
