It's art advice time!

This is the only way I can get it to you! So this is my first piece it's a 3D mannequin torso that I painted and collaged. My theme is how the media portrays women negatively, the chess board is representing how we are chess pieces in the media, I'm not finished painting yet but I have marilyn munroe, amy whinehouse, brittany spears, myself, jess, steph and friends. Advice? and what I really want to know is should I write my quotes on the black background like a boarder, or across the whole back like a book? in thick, thin, block or slanty writing? and any ideas for a quick and effective piece for my second final? it's only year 11 so it doesn't really matter haha :)
