Magazine front cover + contents page

This is my College magazine front cover design that I created using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11.

The design is very basic,but I tried my best at making it look bearable with the little knowledge I have of this tool.

I have tried to recreate the masthead similarly to the way I have sketched it out, but because I drew it free hand and not by the font it is slightly different. 

I have also created a very brief contents page, which looks like this:

It is a very brief design of the contents page and what the layout would look like. I believe the photos are not necessary but I thought it would be more appealing to the eye if some images were placed nearby. There is one main text box and two minor ones, the bigger one would include more important information.
