I liked the crosses. I don't care about historical accuracies. I can even watch a film without moaning someone's coat is the wrong era, or whatever. I like the top one of these, and the bottom of your first attempts. They struck me as the clearest.

I agree with Nick - life's too short.

Faded stone circle is much better, and the blue text is better than the yellow

ooh, yes, the first one on of those is nice! (I'd nudge the green text in a bit to have it's right edge in line with the right edge of the book, and maybe make the book slightly larger to fill that space a little......but now I'm just nit-picking!)

I like the last one.... the suggestion of people around is good IMO. Like the sky in the background instead of whiteout.

Bottom one is nice. It draws you into the building and it's interesting.

The celtic crosses ,make it stand out more. Surely if it was to be authentic and in period,it would have to be in Welsh? Good luck with it,in what ever form you choose.

I prefer the first one of the new batch - the ones with round houses on make the poster look to busy.

Some trivial points:

Why is Rob Godfrey not in italics, or why is Beccy Own in italics? Better to be consistent.

The date/time is a bit lost at the bottom, would this be better above the green text about ticket prices, or underneath the main heading of the poster?

Line up the green text with the book, or vice versa on the right-hand side.

Do you need to say what the ticket price reduction is for (or maybe that is obvious to those people who it refers to, OAPs, students etc.)

I prefer the third of the new batch - a little bit of sky adds a bit more depth and interest to the background. Be careful with the green text: depending on how it is being printed and how you have specified the green make-up, it could render in print lighter than you expect. A.

not sure if these are flyers people will pick up and take away or posters for the local shops etc. If they are posters can I suggest less text and then have flyers with more text availbale that look the same (i.e. the image is the same) so I know its for the same event if i see the stuff in different locations I would then realte it all back to the one thing.

Its a great idea by the way to increase the audience for your book. good luck with it. dont forget to take photos of the event and then blog tweet facebook about it so people find out about it even if they didnt come to the event.
