Extended Practice A Clockwork Orange Initial Ideas

After reading A Clockwork Orange I was really struggling with what to do for the cover as I felt that all my ideas were coming from the film version which I'd previously seen. I think it's really important to avoid the cliched imagery for this cover.

I did this image very quickly, I was looking at how to incorporate some different imagery into the project but I feel that this is awful and I went straight back to the drawing board after doing this.
