2nd front cover/contents pages development

I have started designing the front cover of my second magazine cover and I began to wonder if I should add the red fog effect to the cover. I think it's the right steps moving forward as I believe the red fog could be a reflection of the stress surrounding the model's busy life as a student.

I have begun adding cover lines to the front cover using bright saturated colours very much like many real life magazine such as 'Cosmopolitan'. In addition to this I have included a puff to promote the interview with the school student towards the readers. 

In the next few weeks I aim to complete this front cover cover lines , font and overall structure and move on to the contents page

 

1st front cover / contents page development

I have tested using different fonts and colours of the cover lines to correspond with my logo on the magazine cover . As it is a sports issue , I had to add the cover line 'Feel energised' to have a sporty feel to the magazine.

Currently I am woking with the structure and positioning of the models as well as the positioning of the cover lines , as my magazine hopefully would implement the structure very similar to a  'Men's Health' Magazine. 

Also I am currently deciding whether or not to add the red smoke effect. I believe it would be a great addition to both magazines as it illustrates the models emerging from their 'New Awakening' to then use exercise as a stress relief.
