@Frances—

I think rotating it slightly helps, gains interest.

I don't feel it's visually integrated with the text yet, though, sorry!

Make the text the hero, or make the switch, but not both, because then they fight with each other for visual importance.

K.I.S.S. is an acronym for designers, too, and if a piece feels overworked, strip it down until it's at its essentials.

You find Truth and you discover Art this way.
