Music magazine front cover- Idea 2

This is my second draft for the magazine front cover,  I have made some improvements by making the strapline 'monochrome' slightly smaller in size. I have used outer bevel on the headline and strapline which I think adds more emphasis and I prefer the text being in white rather than red, but the outline colour around the letters works well. However the masthead isn't as clear because the red 'PB' doesn't stand out from the backdrop (brick wall) and the masthead is the most important convention as it represents the whole magazine therefore it must be seen. Plus the photograph isn't a close up or medium close up so their faces cannot be seen in detail which may not engage the reader as much.
