An idea I have been considering is the use of body paint to make my front cover stand out amongst others. This technique has been used in many magazines and music videos to add something extra to an otherwise plain shoot. A well-known example of this is Rihanna's Umbrella music video in which she was completely coated in silver. Paris Hilton has also been painted gold for a magazine shoot and Kim Kardashian was recently covered in silver for a magazine. These pictures almost immediately become iconic due to how dramatic and different the images are.
The use of gold on a magazine draws attention to whatever level it is used, for example these magazines are placed in order of the amount of gold actually used however each picture stands out from 'normal' magazines which use plain colours.
