Project 2 Critique feedback

I enjoyed all the feedback I got! I'm very glad people responded well to my somewhat silly topic choice to propagandize for. Some of the critique I would definitely take action on if I were to go back and work more on the piece (particularly the flowers; a larger size for better readability at a distance is something that I more or less knew but didn't feel like going through the process of doing!), but on some other critiques I'd play the artist card (I was and still am particularly enamoured with the color and layout I went with on the "ROUNDABOUTS" text on the upper portion- I went through a bunch of different layouts for it and ultimately the one I went with was the one that clicked for me once I played with it.
