the render is LQ try sharpening it a bit and see how it comes out theres no flow you gotta work on your placement a little, the text is alright im just not feeling the font
who cares if there in the same color palette its not gonna change anything the color of the background dosent fit with the Swirl, i agree the Swirl has some nice Creativity but still it needs some minor Improvements
maybe you should of thought this through before posting , anyways the background color makes it horrible as you can already tell there no depth, it seems a bit flat to me nothing pops out maybe adding a little more to it will make it look much better. keep practicing tutorials is what you need...
