Props and Locations

For my image i'd like to do a 'young' and 'fun loving' image that captures the artist having fun and enjoying themselves. Maybe this would be more suitable if my model didn't do a to serious photo. I think somewhere that teens would go to have fun. For example the amusements, an ice cream parlor, the cinema and maybe clothes shopping. For example;

The Fairground.

In a fairground, this is an unusual and fun setting. The props could be 'admit one' tickets, large sticks of candyfloss, games or even giant teddies and presents. The typical fairground iconography. It would be hard to complete this surrounding area now, because the time of production would be December/January and most fairgrounds are out of action in that time. It would be a really fresh and new idea but because of the time of production, I don't think it's a very achievable idea.

The Ice Cream Studio. 

My next idea is in an Ice Cream parlor. It suits my pastel-vintage theme for not only the image on the front cover but my image for the whole magazine.
It is a very girly location and with my models there in pink, purple, yellow and blue small 'cupcake' dresses it could create a good well rounded picture. The props could be items such as an ice-cream, sweets and such like.This picture would be sweet and preppy, it'd be perfect for my magazine. But due to my timescale and available resources a real parlor isn't available but, I could always create my studio setting into one and try to make that a possible idea.

A Studio Setting.

This is probably my best, most achievable idea. I am basing my whole photo shoots on the fashion and make-up of the models and with a studio setting that would let me and enable me to do that and create the best picture possible.  The lighting would be accurate and also I could add any props I could want for example I could add any vintage hanging ornaments and also If I wanted to create a setting where the real thing just wouldn't be available that could be a good idea too. I could put any small or large apparatus in the setting. A minimalist picture is the best idea possible so that is going to be another one of my key criteria for my images.

My Key Criteria for the images; 
(the criteria I've set myself for my pictures based on how I'd like them too look)

1. It must be suitable for tweenage girls(aged 11-15/16).
2. Make-up and fashion is a main focus point.
3. The colour schemes are pastel colours(for the whole magazine).
4. It must be vintage to match with the whole theme of the magazine.
5. It must have a female artist on the front, that would be admirable for young girls.
