Music Magazine Front Cover Mock Up 1

This is my first mock up of the front cover. The design is based on one of my flat plans which is very simplistic which is evident in the mock up as the design has not real advertisement on the front and left very simple in colour. The image is of course mine and the magazine name "Everest MT" is a temporary name only to  see how the magazine looks with a lengthy name. My conclusion is that the lengthy name works for this design. The image fits perfectly for the canvas size which is A4. Overall, I think the design works well for my target audience the main image is unique to say the least with the face being pulled by the artist. It spells out alternative and not pop so this draft of the front cover targets the preferred audience perfectly.
