#1 Focus on the words in the quote
If you want to focus on the words in the quote, you may choose a design like this for your quote:
#2 Focus on the feeling
If you want to focus on the feeling behind the quote, you can amplify that by choosing a relevant photo in the background like this:
#3 Show the person quoted
If you want to focus on the person who said the words, you can choose to insert the picture of the person in the background like this:
