I Decided not to further this book cover technique as I was not happy with the effect or quality for something suppose to be on 'the shelves of today' despite this I liked using polystyrene as it was something I hadn't worked with before.
I then decided to just see what it would look like if I was planning on making this style into a book cover sleeve, I added more grass my lino print and the pocket watch also a polystyrene print.
This is a screenshot of both layers merged together.
Once I had done this, I then came to a holt, as I was unsure how to get the detail onto my print, as making facial features proved extremely difficult. Therefore I crew out the outline of my polystyrene print and overlaid it with what I had already done.

Once I'd scanned them in, I then put them together in photoshop and coloured them (shown above)
Firstly I got some polystyrene, drew out the individual parts of my front cover and then cut them out and printed them.
