book project: proposal

My idea for my book is to show what life is like for a superhero when he's chillin at home with the wife, not being a superhero. I will appropriate all of the images and make a collage. The backgrounds will be rooms in the house and have a window or wallpaper design. I plan on using different images of Magneto. I am bombarded with his image since my boyfriend is obsessed with MVC2 and Magneto is his favorite character. I guess I'm poking fun.

As for text, I will probably have a line on every page and use a bold font with all caps. Something superhero or in your face. I might use bright colors for the text or I might just stick to black. Whatever works best with the collage.
   
I will be working within square pages. I think 2200 pixels wide by 2200 pixels high. I think the collage technique will work well with the subject matter. The comic book look is not really what I'm interested in. I want it to look like a story book of collages, not frames right next to each other.

FRONT COVER: Magneto in front of a cute little house, coming home from work with his briefcase. title.
PAGE 1: dinner time. asking wife to cook him something.
PAGE 2: basketball game. maybe horse.
PAGE 3: cigars and cards with the boys. 
PAGE 4: drunk ass Magneto.
PAGE 5: playing video games until dawn and getting mad for losing.
PAGE 6: bed time. gettin it on.
BACK COVER: a blurb asking for maple sausage and waffles.
