Magazine cover final

This is my final magazine cover draft, it includes a pug, 5 sell lines, a pull quote, a graphic, a splash, header/footer and a masthead. The main colours I've used are a light baby blue and yellow, I find that these colours mix well with each-other and therefore used them for my magazine cover.
My main image is of Dafyd and is placed centred on the cover, the type of image is the basic "glare" where my model stares into the camera as to make it more engaging with the audience as it's as if the model is staring at the customer.
My masthead/logo is "VIII magazine" as in relation to King Henry "VIII" school, this is also where the idea of using a yellow colour in my magazine cover came from.
In my sell lines, pull quote and pug the first letter to start the sentence is a larger font size, colour and is also outlined to draw equal attention to everything on the cover making it seem more important.
Both my splash and header/footer has a thicker outlined font that allows it to stand out more which is especially important for the splash, which obviously is why the font of the writing is largest on the cover.
I also included a graphic with the king henry school logo as to get rid of free space making the magazine cover look more full and professional as too much clear space makes the magazine look less interesting.
