My Music Magazine Double Page Spread

Here is the finished product of my double page spread.

I used one image for the background and main image, I did this because it was very central and I thought it would look cool to have the text going round it. However, when writing up the interview, I knew the text would'nt stand out against the image, so to fix this I thought that filling in the text boxes would work. However, it doesn't look very professional having it block coloured, I wanted it to look semi-transparent but I couldn't figure out how to do this. I think I should've added more images to the double page spread because there is too much writing and I think it would've helped break it up more, making it easier to read. The interview itself is far too long and I should've shortened it down.
