Pictures I have taken for my front cover and rough layout

I have a few options to choose from for my front cover. The image above is of the band "The Special K's" (after they have removed thier jackets). I had to direct the band to stand in a central position that would also allow me to put a masthead above their heads. I edited the contrast fo the image to give it an almost vintage feel.

The image above is a test photograph. The background needs to be edited. I am sceptical about this picture because it was taken before a few members of the band removed thier jackets.

Bellow is a very rough layout of my front cover, I will use the latter image above as my background image and layer the text on top. Th image bellow is just to give me an understanding of where I will lay everything out on my front cover.
