 Event Poster

So far I'm really liking the feel of my event poster. I need to redraw the ribbons and the artists' names and add a couple of things to the lower part of the poster. The mac I'm using right now is being awkward.
It won't let me save this file as a png so you get a jpeg instead. Also some of the fonts have reverted back to default because the mac I'm using doesn't have the font. One of the things that's been annoying me is that the fish logo isn't a png and so I can't get rid of the white. When I tried to get rid of it the fish disappears.

This isn't my final poster, but it's the general layout and concept.

Book Cover

I want to make a book cover for the book Kill Me. I love suspense and action and this one definitely has a lot of that. The cover is really plain; it's just the title in big white letters with a bullet passing through it which is a real shame because it is a really interesting book.
My first concept is to lay out the main character's personal items. I think that this would be an easy way to give the reader an idea of who the main character is and show that he is preparing for something big. You never find out his name so I guess I want to give the reader a quick way to connect with the main character. The way the book is arranged, the main character is telling his psychiatrist his story and why his live for today attitude has gotten him into trouble. So this story is basically his last will and testament. Another idea would be to incorporate the fact that the main character lives a double life. He frequently flies to different cities to talk with his psychiatrist and the "Death Angels" and then flies back home so that he can be around his family. My third idea is showing the character's growth throughout the book. At the beginning he leads a pretty carefree and reckless life. However, after his friend's accident he's shaken up and a lot more aware of the inevitability of death. After he signs the contract with the Death Angels he's very paranoid and alert at all times because he knows that they're coming after him and because he has a son, daughter, and wife whom he now realizes need him.
