I created this image yesterday without even factoring in the position of the text. I was trying to position today but I can't seem to get it right ): Should I leave it as it is right now? I added on a white background for the text; that can be taken out. Or should I put the text beneath the banner, or next to it, or take it out altogether? o__O



Slight editing:


Font change:

Honestly, I think the phrase's font is too big.

I really like it as is. Where the quote from?

Yeah, the font could be smaller though

Natalia: Now that I look at it, it is a little big. What about the filler text?

Abbey: The quote is from "Caged Bird", a poem by Maya Angelou.

I personally like the size of the text. Unless you didn't intend on making that the focus of the layout, I think it fits. The only thing I would say would be to use two different fonts (like, keep "freedom" in the big, fancy cursive but change everything else to something more basic).

Meh, couldn't find another font that would match. I downsized the quote font a little bit and shifted it so there's more room for the filler text (which I also moved). Minor changes.

I dk but there's something that looks weird to me. I just can't point it out though.

^I think it's the font. It looks really good for the word freedome but too busy for the rest of the quote. Did you try maybe a small goregia? or some font lie that?

^Yeeeeeah. That's it. And the large spacing between the paragraph and "freedom."
