EVOLUTUON OF A VOGUE COVER

I love fooling around with magazine cover design, imagining myself as a cover model. Being gender-fluid and transgendered, what could be better for someone like me than being on the cover of Vogue?
When searching for an existing Vogue cover to use as a template for a mockup I was considering, I was shocked when I came across the example on the left. The cover lines screamed at me being transgender, especially with all the blank real estate to the left of the frame. I already had a photo sent to me by another PurplePort member where I had already layered my facial features over the underlying image. Next was to do a clipping path of the composite image and save it as a transparent PNG image. Because I couldn't get a good match on the bold text, I erased "The Future Starts Here" and used a very close font to replace it and add my name at the bottom left of the page.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with the result. I still am tweaking the image of me in the white dress and red pumps. This is the image I want to present to the world, especially to older men attracted to someone like me; feminine and submissive yet confident, ready to take on the world. Such a paradox.
Anyone stumbling on this image and narrative, I would welcome your comments.
