Critique Club feedback -

I thought this was a creative entry, held back in large part by a rather lackluster font.

Having your keyword in the image itself is really great.

One thing I didn't get (and still don't) is why the turtle is facing away from the starting line.

Love the square turtle and how you incorporated him into an overall graphic.

Nice exposure and coloring. Would have been interesting to omit the right hand yellow line to let the eye anticipate a longer race. Image would fit better with an anti-procrastination sentiment ("Without that first step, you never get anywhere" comes to mind, but also illustrates how hard it is to be good at writing such stuff.

Great sentiment! I put it in slightly different words to the critics of my running prowess, "I may be slow, but I'll finish ahead of you. I'm in the race!"

The "Start" should be the other way, to be read right from the starters.
