Publication Project - Cover Photo

While I was out taking photos of my friend Charles' astronomy kit, I noticed this photo on his PC:

This is Charles when he was 12 years old, back in the sixties. I think that this would be absolutely perfect for my magazine/book cover. The rounded corners make me think of classic surf mag design from the 60s/70s, which is a look that I would like to achieve. Backyard astronomy is perceived to be a geeky pursuit for some reason or other, so I reckon it would be nice to make my publication really stylised and kind of hip.
