Digital Mock Up Design of a Front Cover Based on Initial Ideas

This is the idea which I have come up with for a style of front page. I would like my front page to resemble this in some ways. For example I would like the masthead and the cover line to look similar and the image style to be a similar mid-shot black and white style image, but this may vary depending on the photos which I end up using for the front cover of the magazine. I feel that these ides of the page work well.
On the other hand, I feel that the style I have used for the magazine cover sell lines needs alot of improvement as they do not stand out that well for the back ground and the image, I would also put the story which I am going to use on my double page spread in a banner headline so that it stands out from both the front cover background and the cover image.
