To improve on my final design, I have now included some of my own markmaking lines which I created from black ink. I have overlaid this on top of the composition as I feel that the shapes of these lines subtly resemble the idea of blood.
I have added a black flower over the yellow wheel which deffinietly helps towards balancing out the composition more and to blend in with the image better. - The yellow wheel does not direct the eye away from the other shapes within the image now.
Another slight adaptation are the small "stitched" outlines around the leg and left arm with the small image of a pair of scissors to reflect the idea of "cutting" into the body. These stroked lines also help to make the body parts pop more on the background.
You will also notice that the small circle bolt on the left side has duplicated.- Having compared this to using a single bolt, I feel I prefer the more asymmetrical approach from using a single circular bolt.
My next stage will be to work on the typeface.
Although it is not clearly visible that this design is to reflect the topic of "Cosmetic Surgery", I think that the little clues such as the stroked lines around the arm & leg and the mark-making help provide subtle hints to the viewer. I also think however that it cleverly plays on the idea of "don't judge a book by it's cover". I need to make sure that I choose an appropriate book title to help reflect the idea of "transformation" or "surgery"........
