Initial ideas creativity: front cover

I have thought about my front cover photo, and I would like to have one star, a female who would be wearing a dress resembling the 50's style,playful heels, with winged eyeliner and pinup hair with a fabric headband and a curl in her fringe. She would be smiling and holding a guitar in a wild pose, with one of her legs in the air.
She would have a floral tattoo on her arm which would be visible and would break conventions of vintage, as tattoos are a symbol of rock. Also, since vintage guitars are electric, I would get the model to be holding one in her shoot. By using this pose and the props, I will adhere to Richard Dyer's theory that 'A star is an image, not a real person...' because of how she will be constructed and directed by me.

My second idea for a pose would be a medium close up of the model, which would be her not having any eye contact with the audience and breaking the conventions in that way. She would still be in the same dress, with the same makeup and hair but the only difference would be that she would look more mature. However, I do not necessarily want that, as I want to show to my audience (teenagers) that old/vintage is not aimed at the elder, more mature audience only. I want to show them that it has a fun spin on it, and anyone can listen to it, including them. Using this pose, I would adhere to Laura Mulvey's male gaze theory, as she would look sensible, mature and beautiful, extremely feminine. This appeals to Mulvey's theory because she will be posing to the pleasure of the male audience.

I would like the electric guitar to either be black, red or blue which would look great with the model and her dress, and makeup.

I will take these photos at a photo shoot at my college, which will allow me access to better quality props to create a great photo, however, I will take some more without them, which will allow me to work at different locations, and make it look more interesting.

I have decided that I will manipulate the colour of the photo using photoshop, to either make the colours incredibly bright and eye catching, or dimmed and stained, which will represent vintage.
However, both effects represent vintage in their own ways, so I have not fully decided on which I will choose yet, but I believe I will make this decision after I have taken the photos.

For the cover stories, I will get them to text wrap around specific parts of the magazine, and some for sure will have secondary leads which will make it appear much more interesting and busy in appearance. The font will be large and colourful, but not as colourful as the central image in order to help it stand out more. It will have a pug, a banner and a bar code, either on the side or the bottom right corner of the front cover.

The masthead will be very large, and take up a 1/5th of the page, it will have kerning and will be tall and thin, with 3D shading on it to make it appear extremely vintage, as it will adhere to the vintage convention of having any sort of effect, mainly 3D.
