Here is my flat plan of my new desired front cover. It is much more simple in comparison to my old one. This was the initial plan for my magazine. This week I plan to take pictures for my new front cover and contents page and hope to get both done this week. I feel that although my new front cover is more simple it would be more effective. XXL magazine has a similar layout where they just use one main image as the focus of their  magazine rather than smaller images scattered around the page. I feel that this looks too much like mainstream magazines and it does not stand out. However I really want my one to stand out and make a statement.
