Evaluation of Pop Art Unit Artwork Part 2

At the end of the last lesson, someone gave me the following constructive feedback/criticism:
You could shade, the rural girl and the rural background in one colour and the city girl and city background in another color to further emphasize the difference between the two parties.
And another piece of constructive criticism was the following:
 You could print out the letters in a font, just to make it more appealing to the eye, or a big block font to make it stand out more, and so that the text is the same size, which at the moment it is not.
I decided to take both pieces of criticism into account and understood that both had a valid point, and could greatly improve my piece of art.

I decided to keep the city in the grey tones, and make the rural parts in a deep soft earthy orange...... a color we didn't have, so I had to divert to a normal orange pencil, and I penciled over the rural things. Then for the text I searched for a font on dafont. I fount a bold black comic font, the one from Asterix and Obelix to be exact. It's called Obelix Pro, by Valentin Antonov. I put it on font size 100, and printed it out, so that the text came on three lines, the items you, on the first line, have define on the second, who you are on the third line.

I also put to light blue A4 pieces of paper beneath the picture to give the text even more power, because frankly the image is almost only to decorate the quote. The text is also seemingly floating on a cloud in the blue sky, just floating past on you imagination, at least that was what I was aiming for.
