I added publication info as well as fixed the placement of the main photo so it is no longer cut off by the title. I also got rid of empty space by adding extra ads and graphics using the same color scheme as used throughout the magazine to avoid having it look overwhelming. I fixed the alignment of the thought bubble and made the title more to the left and added a dog paw graphic on the right to fill the blank space. I also added a border around the title to make it stand out more and corrected the color of the text box the title is in so it is brighter and more eye-catching.
