Additional research for magazine cover

I have been brainstorming on different types of shots that could be used for my cover. I have decided that it'll definitely include a single person engaging in some sort of action. Most likely lifting a type of weight. As for the color scheme, I have found that black and yellow is very powerful, therefore, I might lean towards including those colors more- especially for the cover.

"Yellow - is the most visible color and is the first color the human eye notices! Yellow, the color nearest to "light" leaves a warm and satisfying impression, lively and stimulating and in many cultures symbolizes deity. Dark yellow can be oppressive while light yellow is breezy. Yellow's stimulating nature and high visibility to the eye is the reason why many road signs are bold yellow (contrasted by black text). Yellow birds, flowers and skies are sure to be eye-catchers just because of the way the mind and eye works!"

Each magazine issue will be covering a specific type of exercise or body part. This will she accentuated by the cover image and the cover lines.
As for the header, I think I will include it in the center of the magazine cover. The image that makes up the cover will be placed in front of it, most likely covering a portion of the title of the magazine.
