thanks in advance

I do agree that the text is very busy to look at, meaning viewer can not easily grasp the text without trying to decipher.
1) Dark Blue colour text on a Navy Blue + Sky Blue background gives very less contrast. Hence, I would use a different colour to offer greater contrast.
2) Also, multiple lines around the text makes it harder to read. I would ideally change to font that is more suitable.
3) I would give it a little Drop Shadow and a few Effects to make it stand out. Your aim is to direct the viewer's eyes to the text and make the grasp easy.

Here, I used similar font and style with some of the above incorporated.

@polarwoc - I'm not a designer so didn't have enough confidence to answer. But I agree completely with what you're offering and was thinking along the same lines

My first impressions were:
- Needs a different typeface
- Needs more contrast between the type and the background
- While altering the perspective, the letters at the end of the line become more compressed
- With the shadow type added, it became even more visually confusing at the end of the line

Played with it in my own way and came up with a more simple type, different font color, and added kerning to the last few letters of the type: Also added a small stroke to more define the type.

Again, I'm not a designer so what I did was just a rough interpreation. But definitely a learning opportunity! :)

thank you. it was helpful
 
That's better, a different background on the text always helps a lot to make the text clear. That outline is so thick that is like new background on the text ^^.

In my opinion, I would reduce the outline so it has more text shape or just put a mini background with a could shape or lower opacity so it blends better with the background..
I would make the text a little smaller so doesn't touch the nose.

I made a rough 2 minute example's of what I mean

Or even play with the original background perspective to make it more interesting.

FRIENDS. HOW ABOUT THIS? I changed the font and used a stroke .Does it look better?

The final look of the creative piece is really up to you. But this combination works much better than the first that you showed..
You can also skew the type using Edit>Transform>Perspective to match your original concept:

Sorry...........posts were made since I started writing my post!

My idea was the same as Argos, similar binary font flowing with the original bg.

It is subjective. I can only say what I feel. It may not be how others perceive.

Yes, it does look better in relative comparison to the first attempt. But, it still looks amateurish, like a bully entering the class room and shouting at the top of his voice to be noticed. There is no subtlety in the text insertion. By subtlety, I mean your text would follow the existing text direction or other properties - much similar to @IamSam 's text and @Argos 's second example.

The above is purely my honest opinion. In no way do I want to discourage you from trying further. Please make another attempt.

I have already deleted that PSD file and I don't remember! Sorry. It was just the first font I had that was "binary like"! There are probably many that have a similar look!
