Kpop Magazine Front Page Comparing

This is the first cover of a music kpop magazine i made and this with the idea of having it look like the magazine would be cool and this didn't really work out because the picture that i used on the front didn't really suit a kpop magazine style so i decided to change that as one of the first priority and then the next thing was the writing on the right and this is because i wanted to make it more diverse with the chosen Kpop bands and because most of the ones i chose are well known some of them others aren't so i then replaced them with more well known ones and added some more in. i also made the background darker.

This is my second design of my front cover and this also includes the changes i made to the first one in changing the picture and text to making the look of the second one look more professional and so that it makes it seem like its from an actual institution and made from a company i also like the way the picture has the fade/removed shadows so that the red background  makes the picture standout second from the title.
