Experiments with printing

I was sat there after I'd finished the first front cover thinking about how it's lacking in something that I can't put my finger on. I was surrounded by magazine pages and covers and I was thinking about what kind of paper I could print these front covers on.

So I thought I'd ruin my brand new wireless printer by running thin magazine sheets through it! (The most logical move)
But I kind of like how they turned out -

I feel like these two prints are the most successful as the ink took to the empty spaces on the sheet as well as some of the adverts and stories. I also feel like these two prints really embody that scrap book feel of how teenagers react with these materials, like plastering their walls in magazine scraps or making scrapbooks or online mood boards etc. 

I feel like these two are the unsuccessful outcomes from this experiment. The ink from the magazine blocks out too much of my print over the top that you cannot decipher what exactly you are looking at and I think it's that balance that works really well with the top two prints. I think this feeling of mystery works to benefit my idea and I just need to figure out my final presentation of that idea and the concepts I've looked at that works for this critique.... Tricky.
