Re-think on double page spread

When looking over my double page spread and completing my evaluation I believe that my double page spread wasn't achieving it's full potential so therefore I decided to re think some elements and try to change my double page spread.

Rethink One

With this re-think my main aim was to break up the main aim was to break down some of my block colour as I believe this made the magazine look unprofessional. I also decided to break colours down with in titles and questions as well to give a slight variation when reading. I also decided that the way in which my last story was presented was very unprofessional and did not read well, so therefore I decided to break down the story into columns. However one problem I have found with this is my larger quotes look out of place in the story.
Rethink two

Once again with this double page spread I have tried to break down the block colour of black, however I believe that this may not be as effective on this page as the change of colour is in a direct and bold line. I believe that on my first rethink the line is on a slight slant and therefore is an easy break of colours to the line. I also believe that the title needs to be broken into different colours again in order to add an almost fun edge. However ever I believe having a different colour behind the story makes it easier to read and I believe that my larger quotes look more in place with this layout.  
So from looking at these I shall make my final few adjustments and then post my best double page spread.
