![]() That’s probably a very nicely dramatic part of the painting, so you could consider keeping it in the composition. After staring at it for a while, I realised that that background is the 2nd figure’s outstretched hand. Again, I would use the right-most figure as a guide.Ĭonversely, perhaps the orange texture above the boy could creep out the other way, and *reveal* more of the background. I think the orange texture should creep in closer to the boy so as to better obscure that extraneous detail. Meanwhile, there is too much garbled detail still visible above the boy’s head, which draws the eye away from the composition and causes some visual confusion. fades a little above him to reveal a little of the background behind him). I think the orange texture should recede earlier in this area, so that it interacts with the left-most figure similarly to how it interacts with the head of the right-most figure (ie. Currently, the left-most figure’s head looks a little cardboard-cutout-like. I think it should be faded out with a bit more attention to detail, in a way that treats all figures similarly. But it could still be improved.Īt the moment, the orange texture fades out in a linear fashion after “The Way it Happened”, plus it’s been erased rather sharply around the outline of the left-most guy’s head. The orange texture that has been applied above the four heads works well: it gives the title breathing room, allows the 4 figures to ‘pop’ more, yet keeps all elements feeling cohesive. Alternatively, you could change the colour of the quote to yellow, or softly darken the whole area underneath it (more so than the gentle dropshadow you have now). Those 2 elements perhaps feel like they’re floating a little too high at the moment anyway. Both problems would be alleviated if you moved your name and the quote lower, and left-aligned the quote. Even your name suffers a bit for being on a busy background. ![]() The quote has serious legibility problems, as some of it is white-on-white. The image definitely works very well as a book cover.
