      Hi everyone! I'm making this collage as a banner for my table at markets (the first picture is the sketch, following pictures are progress). I'm going to finish the collage and add my name into the banner digitally. Then I'll get it printed and hang it on my table as a display for my artist name. However, I want to sell the original collage. I obviously don't think there's a market for my promotional material, so I'll be adding and changing the collage to make it an item someone would want to display in their home or office or whatever.

      So my question is:
      What can I add within the flag and within the illustration that people can relate to? Themes of the illustration include family, community, and play. What text or objects can I add to convey those themes while also making it appealing to a potential buyer?

      I also want there to be a reason these people are parading. Like I wouldn't want the banner to be some abstract design or something because it doesn't answer the questions, "why are they gathering? Why are they happily displaying this flag? What has brought them together in this way?"

          Cute illustration! I like the options @Jeremy-Ross gave you. I'll throw out a few more:

          We are Better Together
          Take a Walk in Your Neighborhood
          What a Wonderful World

          I know you said you want to sell it, I also think it would be great for a public building like a library, a community center, or community service organization.
