OK, OK, I wanted to show off some of my artwork for my own current affairs deck (without getting too political, this is the only non "politician" card I've done so far), but genuine question: does the handwritten text look OK or do you think it would look better if I typed the text into a DTP program. I like the Impact font (as do more and more people these days...you can't move in the UK at the moment without seeing something written in it!) and can reproduce it OK by hand, but...professionally speaking, it might I think look better printed out. Also colour, texture etc., should I colour the text or does it look OK as outline only.
Centr(e)ing is a bit dodgy as well now I can see it scanned

The quote is from Wordsworth's "Lucy", BTW (I presume out of copyright?), and the figure represents me returning home from a period spent abroad in order to take up the political swords of what was, for me at least, the beginning of a new era. That's another point - would it look better if there were swords in the pic or do you think the picture and the quote convey the message adequately? The King of Swords whom I've drawn already has a sword in his hand even though he is wearing a modern suit; I've tried to blend the traditional regalia in with a modern style of dress (and I have decorated his crown with spades from a regular playing card deck). It is an image of a politician though so I am wary about annoying the mods by sharing the image (the quote is from one of his speeches so I wouldn't be breaching any copyright there).
The cards are 1/4 A4 size, I always work best at actual size so I am comfortable with the dimensions I've got.
