Questions - Printed Pictures

1. Text, how can it be used?
   Text can be used as an image, not with an image. It should help create the image however it's not really relevant for you, and the amount of ideas you've already got going you're going to over complicated things for yourself.
2. Over-Complicating things for myself?
   The scope of what you want to do is doable but there's still a lot to do. You're worry too much about the contextual side of things and constantly tweeking too much. You've already got a large body of work to go from, don't add more choices to that.
3. Colours?
   Colours are important in this and your idea for having welcoming colours to a unwelcoming scene work well but it's something you're just going to have to do in order to see how it all works out

2. How relevant to the author?
   basic/minimal; almost abstract in a sense will work well with the ideas you're working with.

3. Literal or inspired by?
   Inspired by
   
   Summary:
   Ideas are there, almost too many. Over thinking the concepts behind it all. You've got lots of ideas and you're trying to add too much too it. It can always be something you can come back too but as of now you're running out of time and the best thing for you to do now it make a plan and then just go do it.
