No problem I enjoyed all your criticisms.  I like the ideas of the
wording.  I will say one thing is that I want the wording to be as
general as possible.  This way it is the same wording with different
images if I wanted to create marketing posters with the same theme.

As far as getting kids with different age groups and ethnicities I
would prefer to do that, but as of now there are a couple of problems.

1) This conference is in a month and I need to get one done soon.
2) The kids in the picture are my nephews and they don't come with the
difficulty of getting a model release form :)
3) I had this image so this was easy to work with.

Anyway, I will upload a new version soon with some corrections we'll
see how it goes.
