This is my first entry and first work of this kind, i've seen some other magcovers and i think mine is rather old-fashioned, which is fine, because it doesnt look like any other I saw =P. Dont be afraid of criticizing.

The barcode doesn't seem realistic. Also, you have too many fonts and colors, and text effects. It looks more like a comic book than a scientific magazine. That's all I have to crit.

I think there is way too much text on this cover.

i'm gonna have to agree with sandmans. Too many fonts/effects/test period. Try to use less wording as you want to entice the reader to open the mag. I'm also not feeling the picture for the b/g. it's just a bit too much. Less is more.:alien2:

it's feels like a comic book, i would not trust it for real science news.

kinda bad quality on the imagery also. Especially the martian text.

Thank you for the advice & critic. I find them helpful.
The basic idea was to make a "light" Science magazine, but well, I see it doesn't comunicate the message, I'll have to re-invent it.
