the neon filter deffinately doesnt work with the photo and wouldnt work for a 2page spread like that.

the huge empty space to the right bothers me, it should have copy there.

you need folios, one on either side is fine, but not when theres clearly room for it on the other side.

i like the film strip idea it flows nicely but i dont like how it blocks out the front end of the car.

on the bottom one its too photo heavy on the left side, and the photo over the fold im not too sure if i like that.

you normally wouldnt collage 4 big photos on a 2pg spread.

the copy text in the mod list is a little hard on the eye, doesnt make for smooth reading.

...thats it for now, overall a good start.

if you want i have a killer 2pg spread i did as a mock up for modified with badassevo's car (photo's courtesy of bryan troll). Also learn pay attention to grids used in magazine's. I have a good way of making great flowing grids for 2pg spreads.

But what did you mean by "on the bottom one its too photo heavy on the left side, and the photo over the fold im not too sure if i like that.

The introductory sentence is horribly... horrible... and poorly worded

the bottom 2 page spread is too photo heavy, too many photos squished together.

Thats why magazine companies have copyrighters, graphic designers do not do body copy.
