Planning - Magazine cover, first draft

This is the first draft for my magazine cover, as part of my digipack. I decided to keep the cover simplistic following other conventional magazine layouts, whilst choosing to have the main antagonist from the film displayed clearly.

I obtained feedback from peers about my cover, and the majority said it was good apart from the large amounts of dead space that can be seen above and below the main picture. I noticed this myself during the creation of it, but due to the pictures I took whilst filming, there aren't many solutions as to what I can fill them with. So, I am going to have to look at other methods such as a different layout in an attempt to fill the dead space more.
