Let the main message lead
Before adding a border, icon, or texture, draw a plain reading path from the first word to the last. A quick on-screen review can show whether the name, date, or short phrase remains the first thing a viewer notices. That makes the first sample question about hierarchy rather than decoration.
Keep an undecorated reference
Save the simplest version beside the more detailed version and label the revision clearly. It gives a maker something concrete to compare without treating one exploratory result as proof for every design or material. Browse /updates/ for more compact workflow notes.
