These look like prints that have been designed with a limiting one-colour printing process in mind, and aren't really making the most of the advantages that glicée offers. The added interest in these if they were hand-pulled screenprints/risograph/letterpress would be the small but noticeable unique differences that a manual printing process often generates, adding at the least, a little warmth.
Anyone who has opened photoshop can appreciate that these probably took longer to source the quotes than it did to lay them out. One (low res, possibly stock) vector overlaid on a plain background, with some lazy-leaded text does not a piece of art make, limited edition or no.
I'm not trying to piss on your bonfire, but if you want to sell prints, take 5x longer to produce the artwork (and then charge 5x more if you think you can get away with it!). It's often apparent if something is a rush job, and it seems these were. Sorry.
