Research and Planning: Contents comparison at this stage

I am looking at the to contents pages, the development of mine and the established Kerrang magazine.
I like the influences I've taken from the having the editor's not at the side at the bottom of the page, though I moved it to the right rather than the left, which was done because I didn't want it to be as much of a focus.
For the same reason I did not use a picture of the editor, as that draws more attention than I would've liked.
The large image at the top of the page, below the header influenced my positioning of images here, with me having two rather than one, as a new music magazine cannot feature just one artist as they do not have the existing fan-base to be the centre of attention and draw such a large focus.
