Magazine Spread

My Magazine Cover Idea.
I want the cover to be a mixture of photography, typography and hand drawing. I want it to look quite playful and fresh. I have came up with this sort of thing. You can see the typography at the side and the title. The Photography dominates the page but because their is so much going on it appears quite subtle.
Although the first one is quite nice, I don't really know if it looks like a cover or an inside spread so i messed around with another image and heres what i got. I actually think it is more effective even though the use of typography isnt extensive. I thought i could maybe keep the Typography for the inside spread as I think it would allow me more freedom.
I played around witht the left hand side of the spread and came up with two ideas. Im kind of unsure to which one i will use.
