Build a central character
Build a central character
Put your main protagonist and or antagonist at the centre and think about all the different areas and ways you can insert emotions, events and themes. It can be as obvious or as cryptic as you like.You can fill backgrounds with relevant text, give them tattoos or just create some symbolic still life in the corner. Just make sure its your character that is at the heart of it all and all these extra details almost blend into the background.
