    i feel you really need to rethink this from both a style and layout standpoint.

    1. there is a reason for putting the masthead in the top 1/4 of the magazine as this is usually all that is visible on the shelf. right now people are going to see some sky and part of the "John's Backin" text.

    2. the image should be closer cropped as to bring more focus to the rider in the shot... too much background for a cover shot.

    3. It doesn't really fit into the clean more simplistic style that skateboarding is taking these days.

    Pick up a copy of the skateboard mag for a kick ass example of where the skate mags are heading.

    Overall it just really looks like something I would see in a skate mag from mid 90's.
