About Magazine Front Cover

I have recently decided that my Music Magazine Front cover is not good enough and i am thinking about changing the layout and the main image to get a clearer messege across and to make the magazine look more professinal and to achieve greater sales if the magazine where to go onto the market.

I am thinking about keeping the Masthead but changing the image to multiple images to show that there is more then one main article as the front cover usually has the most important article and key information. I am also going to use different affects to my text to create a greater attration to the magazine.
