Design concept: Using a photo of the cemetery in winter, I added a quote that talks about not recognizing the beauty around us. I like how the quote also makes one think of not recognizing the friends and family around us while they are here.
Alignment: I chose to align the text with the roadway, leading the eye along the path. I designed the style used on the text from the colors in the photo, for consistency, yet darkened the road behind the text for more sharp contrast and easier reading.
Contrast: As mentioned, the font color / and style is designed to provide strong contrast.
Proximity: The text is squeezed just slightly vertically to make the thought more cohesive.
Repetition: Colors in the landscape were repeated in the font color and frame.
