    Slight tweaks

    My vote goes for moving the right side of the 'door' a bit towards the central vertical line of the body. Right now I feel like the door is no longer overlapping the body in the lower right corner. Also consider tying in the clothing into the concept, so rather than ripped paper, you'd use shreds of cloth.

    And def. new typography. Otherwise, the effect on the image is real nice, does a good job at bringing them together. Also consider vinaigretting more of the lower corners.

    Remove the type and add it elsewhere

    Hi ! Nice illustration.

    My only suggestion here is to change the type face and maybe pull the type out by putting the picture on a black backdrop and have the question below the picture of the illustration rather than in it? It would be much easier to read in white against black.

    Best of luck!

    Love it.. but shouldnt be there a door instead of a window? or maybe i didnt understand the concept behind this.. Even though I would change typography in that quote!

      yeah the type is weak, but idea was when you stand in front of someone blocking their view they would say "you make a better door than a window", in this image it flipped thats why its phrased as a question. (hard to find the wording i am looking for, lol ) but thanks again for the review
