what size?
- issue/price etc (far too close to edge)
- logo is really ambiguous and awkwardly kerned.
- (on the middle one) logo is far too big (its ift not the front cover - try to keep branding to a minimum)
- could help to give more of an idea of whats in it? (unless the idea is NOT to do it - then you need to explain the purpose/concept of the mag)
- logo far too close to edge
- not really able to come to a full crit out of half a spread and two covers..
show more - grid system/(or lack of) - contents page - how to photos work in articles (are they always full bleed?)
- the leading is a bit loose on the middle page text..etc etc
(also try to use your own images... - esp for university projects (as it gives you brownie points for extra creative abilities- rather than "i can google scarlett johansson")

fatty bold type lends itself better to tight tracking..
thin type looks a bit weird..(also 'fashion' means nothing to me.. - are there any more articles or is it just the girl? if there is - stick some more on the front.)
is fashion is a strapline (bring it under the logo) [ie Arena, FHM, GQ etc)..etc
(you can tell im avoiding doing my own work!)

Nutini!!! (in a jawa style)
The logo look likes some feminine hygiene product or a pregnancy test kit...
The whole pitch seems to focussed around the celebrity of Scarlett Johnson-whats-her-face and the fact that she has a pair of breasts.
The most important thing to have in a magazine is something interesting to talk about. And some short, snappy bits of journalistic ephemera to read while you are on the crapper!
