Pressure of success my own cover design

I tried designing my own book cover for fun even though its not even published yet what do you guys think.

Hi Ellison. You've done a great job, but my thoughts are that I think it could be a little bit more dramatic, for instance maybe have steam coming out of her ears, or have her screaming into the nether. The character doesn't look pressurised, she just looks sad. Also, the title needs to be centered and your name a lot bigger. I love how the title and your name stand out, the colour is great, maybe lighten the background a bit so that the character stands out more.

Hi Ellison. Love you've taken initiative with designing the cover and asking for feedback! In general book covers should be done by cover designers, even if it's only one from fivver or another low cost designer initially .... Covers and blurbs are two of the most important things. It also needs to represent your genre. From the cover I'm not sure what genre your book is. Hope this helps!
