So here are my redo of my feature and cover. For my feature I'm still having a little trouble with the text, I was thinking of making the left hand page two columns of text.
Brianna - if you are considering changing the grid structure for your feature, I suggest you try 3 equal columns. Your design is close to that now (maybe it IS the 3 columns, not sure), but you are combining the 2 inner columns. I'm not sure 2 even columns will make sense, or help you in any way.
I also suggest you increase the gutter between the columns... some of your elements are a bit crowded. Avoid crashes... even with your decorative circles. In fact, it seems like they are quite dark and could interfere with body copy readability. Lighten them, and even allow them to ghost away when they move into the columns.
I question the grey/brown color behind the Feature heading. Blah... isn't there another color that could be used? Maybe the wheat color could be background, and darker brown and green could be used for the heading?
Cover - masthead color needs to be in more contrast with the background... keep thinking and experimenting.
Spend only a bit more time on these, and take a break to think of other pages.... you have many more to go!

Love the color changes that have been made. Makes it feel much more in touch with the article.
