So, I wonder if you lovely people can help me. It's the wife and I's 4th wedding anniversary tomorrow, and I thought it might be nice to get creative and produce a print showcasing some of the lyrics from the song we had as our first dance (you're love keeps lifting me).
I had a go using MS Publisher (I don't have access to Photoshop right now), saving as both pub and printing to "high quality PDF":
PDF:

PUB:
https://mega.co.nz/#!KQ5X1QIA!DFxULShMSyvOoy3cMl1UV36nWmgMbAhqkOord7e2gis
I can't quite get it laid out and looking right though. The white space on the left hand side seems... a little empty. Also I think the heart in the background looks a bit shitty?
On top of this, the resolution of the fonts in Publisher are a bit crappy, specially given I want this to be a A4 landscape print (I'll put it into a thick black frame).
This is the kind of thing I'm hoping it'll end up like:

One thing I'm keen on is a Paris feel. In order to do that, I though the large vertical "higher" on the right could be shaped into the Eiffel Tower - leading up to a peak at the top? Might need to slightly grey out the bottom of the word (parts of the H) to represent the open part at the bottom of the eiffel tower?
Another even cooler idea (but infinitely more difficult), would be to actually produce a portrate poster with the Eiffel Tower made of words from the song:

Something like this:

Can anyone help me out in any way? It needs to remain 8 inches x 12 inches for printing purposes!
Your reward? Apart from my eternal gratitude, I'll also treat you to a super funky alias (Soderator is taken though so hands off!).

There is a typo here. It should say "you belong to me"   |
