Front Layout Problems

I'v had to make some changes to the layout of my front cover due to fitting in images and text however this had not been too much of a problem and hasn't really affected my overal plans. I have started editing my photo's and have tried many different effects on each one. I am still in this process and then plan to go onto to choosing my images and placing them on/in my magazine.

E.g:  

This is a photo I have edited on google+ photo editor. I plan to use this on my double page spread.
