This, I think, is my best draft so far. I've made the changes I said I would - enlarged Taylor and kept Amy small - and I made the wall black as opposed to the background which is now white - illiminating the rock/horror codes. It still seemed too dark to me, so I changed the red colouring to pink - making it able to be read as more girly, like a girl's diary. This suits Taylor Swift far better. It also seems quite minimal which is of course important having studied her iconic image.
This cover involves Taylor cutting up a heart with a twisted smile for a facial expression, implying that it's been designed after the song - after she's had her revenge and now she's moving on by getting rid of any evidence of her relationship with Guy, and is happy about moving on. The contrast in sizes between her and Amy conveys the sense that Taylor feels that she's been successful, she's won by conquering what she said out to do - get revenge. Although both characters will be photos, everything else is in the style of a girl's diary, which is unique and post-modern, expanding Taylor's diversity and hopefully the interest of her fans.
