Holy trinity magazine construction

I have today tried to make my 'holy trinity' cover to my magazine, but had a hard time to make it work.. I have blurred the bag-ground, so it is only the two girls there are in focus. But every time I try to put it into Photoshop it makes the whole picture gets blurred - I don't know whats to do?

You can see here; how it should look like and how it looks like.

Now I find out how to do it, so now my front cover is finished. But I am now sure if I wants this format of my magazine.

So now I have changes the format on my magazine,

but I am not so happy with the lower part I think I will changes that...

Now I have changes the lower part to what there are on the floor, I think it is better, but still not so happy for it - but will let it be for now.

I have chosen I used this one, i like it better then the other one. But this i far for what i would call good, hope we have some more time and can care a bit more on the details on the music magazine..
