My magazine Development Draft#1

This is only a draft of the independent magazine I am producing. This was my contribution towards the group and to show other ideas how to utilise an independent magazine.
In this draft I need to fix my bar code and change a few sell-lines. The main problem I have here is my text being hard to read from the background meaning I may have to change the photo, crop it or as seen to other independent magazines I will blur the background which could male reading easier.
