Starting the magazine

So far i have placed the background image on the bottom of my template on my front cover. I made sure when i edited the image on jasc paint shop i pro i brightened the image to a rich black colour, so it was one set colour and did not have different tones in it, this is because i wanted the whites and red texts to show up against the background instead of some letters being faint. I made sure the image was appealing for the male and female audience, i wanted the males to be attracted and the females to be curious.
I used the font Georgia for the name of the magazine, it was simple, large and i could read it clearly. For the rest of the front cover i have used sealife sf, it is also clear to understand and simple but still has a bit more of a style to it. I want the rest of my cover to be filled but not too cluttered. I want the audience to be attracted and want to read more with the details on the front of it.
