Magazine DPS House Style First Draft

This is my first take on making my DPS house style. As you can see, I've used the same band that is used on the front cover, this is because I made the front cover to boost this article so more people can look forward to reading it. In my opinion, the double page spread looks good but there are a few flaws such as the columns aren't evenly spread out which may annoy some people and another flaw is the bottom right of the pages, as you can see on all of the corners there is a graphic of either a hexagram or a snake, but on the bottom right there isn't any, this also my annoy some people. This layout fits the metal magazine conventions as Metal Hammer has a similar house style to this mock up I have just made. This was heavily influenced by the Machine Head Metal Hammer article that I have posted below my mockup.
