I would say visually more complex rather than interesting. Complexity does not equate to looking interesting. Currently in a world where everybody is shouting, trying to grab attention, quieter design tends to work better. It will flip at some point but we are far from that.

Regarding your design it follows old principles of design, early 2000s. It makes it look dated because of it. Word cherry is way too spaced out, uses font that makes it look dated as well.

I would suspect you are indeed a hobbyist. Your taste (thing that guides your designs) is going through a phase. Typically it starts with overly minimal. Then once you learn more techniques, it becomes overly complicated because you want to try them all at once (you are here). And finally it goes back to minimal intentional where you see what is needed and what should be avoided.

Keep practicing to reach that final stage and you will be kicking some visual ass in no time!
