hmmm...Since there is nothing much you have done in the layout other that just a statement, one can only look at the text kerning which is not kerned or spaced properly.
And I think kerning like in ’WA’ looks good only with Avant Garde.

Why don’t you simply use Helvetica_?

I think choosing the mines sign confuses the message (or the message confuses the image), I would have thought that a line like ‘Orphans are created long after the war is over’ might work for this image or an alternative image might support your image better. As it stands you are right to be concerned about the kerning the point of kerning is not to create a mathematically equal space between characters rather to create an equal visual space. One method is to print out your type (in black on white so there is no interference from the image) and view it upsidedown and squint at it – this should reveal where there are darker or lighter areas which you can adjust indivdually until there are fewer obvious areas, however the point is not to upset the readability of the pairs of characters so one has to accept that some characters are not going to accept this treatment, the position of the comma is much too tight to N once you have amended this you should look at aligning the other characters on the right of the N (again visually rather than mathematically) so curved letters (S,D,R) will slightly extend beyond the line created by the more vertical characters.

thank you so much.. you guys have been alot of help. noticed alot that i didnt notice by myself.
how about on the layout..

you cant see it in the picture but the picture will be centered with a big bold margin (2 inches) around it

thank you so much.

Are you using optical alignment? It looks you are, but with the wrong text size specification.

And you should seriously consider adding a discreet drop shadow to the text.
