Elvira Type Poster Rough

This is a Type poster rough I did for my graphic design class. We had to do 4 roughs, 2 of which could only use 1 size type and 2 could use 2 different type sizes, and while each poster could use a different type, but not more than one type per poster. All of mine didn't go over well because I chose text that is too literal. I need to find quotes that include a metaphor. I hate hidden meaning, why can't I just make pretty things?
