keep it simple, short and don't use words foreign to the general public.
You don't want to confuse them or make them feel stupid. Juxtaposition is a
great word but.......
Hopefully your statement will be as entertaining as your work......
End of quote.
Fine advise if your work is simple but if it is at all complex then
perhaps it isn't for those who are easily confused. Intelligent people
either look up a word they don't recognize or ask for its meaning. The
statement should be consistent with the audience you want to reach.
