Billy, it's good to see you experimenting with some different layouts this time. The final draft definitely shows progress. Although I would still argue it is unusual not to see a headshot on a front cover, this front page certainly has a lot to recommend it. You have a stab at coverlines, using space, experimenting with images and shapes, and making a masthead that stands out clearly. I would argue that you should try and fill more of your empty space. This could involve writing more detailed cover lines, sometimes featuring quotations from the interview. The space to the right and the bottom left of the page could be used for this purpose. How much does your magazine cost? Lastly, that the name of your magazine is not made entirely clear from your masthead. The letter C is ambiguous and does not refer explicitly to classical music. I understand that the strapline beneath it does, but they should be made rather more clearly. Perhaps the musical symbol would help spell this out?
