I think you should avoid sleeping Koalas.

The photo vector combination has a tendency to be rather loud, as you
have that contrast ... but if go this way, try to give the vector art
some meaning, make it look like it is the koala's dream, or if it it the
structure of another plane of existence. It shall not look like just
something scribbled above the photo.

You could make people happy with just a bit of that vector work, I bet.
