Rough final front cover plan

After quite a bit of planning I have come up with a simple guide of how I will be doing my final front cover. This is more of a basic idea of how it will have been lain out. The only thing is that the font is too dull, the image is too blended and nothing stands out at all. It is way too blue and too many words everywhere. So after this I am going back to more planning for my final front cover as this just lacks too much.

The added bar code is nice but this is going to be an online magazine so more or less, the bar code is just a useless add on. The logo isn't really that noticeable either which does not help getting the name out there.
