Less is better; two or three details read clearly, while six turn into clutter.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2: Select Your Design Elements<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Include the touches that add personality to the piece: logos, cultural symbols, short quotes, and achievement details.
