The problem I have with these layouts is that you have chosen a subject which is diverse and rich with loads of different cultures. But where you have gone wrong with the art direction is easy to spot - it's too corporate. Too boring. Too 'white' safe, 'banking' or 'housing' annual report.Its too 'nice' and challenges nothing - unlike the music. You, however, could have made the classic mistake and used loads of graffiti and urban crap!

Look at early New york flyers and artwork for Hip Hop from the late 70's early 80's This is a rich and brilliant subject.

Thank you for the comment. I agree with what you have said and I am going to change the style to gain a rawer style.
