"The word 'book' is getting lost in the picture of the tree. How can you make that text more readable? What if you changed the color? Now try adding a background. Too dark? Here, change the transparency. Is 'Times' the right font to use?" The "young men accept views of other thinkers" image takes a page directly from those thoughts you put together. "Read deeply" does, too, but that was all their doing. I actually want to put together a dummy presentation and have the kids work on using font choices to tidy it up. That'll be when we get on to doing another one of these things.

Looks like everyone chose different routes for fusing text to the image. Not an easy task.
