The Worm picture I take it from Character of "Earth Worm Jim"
You should study about typography. You should not use more than two families of font in the same design, and you should not deform fonts. If you need a condensed font, use a condensed family, but do not alter fonts to fix spaces. Also, be careful using color and shadows. The most important thing is that you can read easily. A lot of color, fonts and effect doesn't mean that you are creating a better design. It is not pleasant to read every thing in capital letters.
I hope it helps.
