Front Cover Mock up

I made 2 Different Mock up of my music magazines front cover, the is only two similarities between the two is that i have banner going across the page diagonally at the bottom of the page, and also that i have my masthead located in the top left hand corner of my magazines front cover. i decided to not go for design 1 because i felt that it was too generic and very similar to most of today's common magazines
