Consider the layout carefully
Position and arrangement of your layout can create a beautiful design or destroy it. If letters are too small, the background looks complex to affect reading, your design will not make any impression and attract viewers. However, text is just a part of the calculus; how to put an image in its right place is important as well. Therefore, you need to pay attention to two these parts:
1. Layout of an image
You should take a photo by yourself or search an available source to utilize your design. Your image should be effective and have enough space for you to insert text into.
