ok, so for the first cover, i am guessing that you want the point at wich the rays meet to be noticed. so where i would put the title is somwhere below that point. or, you could do this thing where you put half the title on the top half, and the other part below it. now that i thik about it that would be pretty cool 
For the second cover, the girl is the main point for it, so i would suggest putting the title above her head so that it is kind of covering the top of it.
you don't have to use my suggestions, but they are there if you want them
did you draw those? they are really good |

Yeah, I drew them. Thanks.
I was thinking the same thing but I wanted to know what other people thought. |

I agree with sortgurl on where the titles should be located.
For the first one I didn't really get what it was for a while...but I'm good now.
I'm not sure what to say with the whole color deal...some covers look cooler in black and white.
What colors were you thinking of using?
That could make a difference...
Nice drawings, anyway. They're really good!

Just as a heads-up, to the extent of my knowledge, most publishing companies don't let the author design the cover. So don't rely on these too much for your cover image, okay? I mean, yeah, drawing them is fun. But don't get your heart dead set on them.

ok, so for the first book, i really like the second cover better. it has more life, and i love the colors you chose
for the second book i would stick with the first one you had in mind. i couldn't tell you if it would be better in color because i can't really see it in color.
hope that helps let me know if you need anything else |

ok, i have to say that i like the second cover better in color. here is my opinion on black and white covers:
they aren't so great. they don't catch you eye as much. and i know this is bad, but with books, i really do judge them by their cover. i think that if the cover isn't so good, then they probably didn't take the time make a good book. that is just my opinion and that could be completely wrong. but i think that your colored covers are much better than your black and white ones
hope that helped pm me if you need anything else |

Honestly?
IF these are book covers, they're rather bland, boring, and too empty. A head and some words floating on a big, empty page is not interesting. More designs are needed. If you want critique on the art itself - it has the marks of an obvious beginning anime artist. The wide faces, the wide eyes and the over-sized irises and pupils, while at the same time having a really small nose and mouth, and the hair doesn't flow.
Regarding your question: I think the first choice for 'A new light' doesn't leave very much room for words. It doesn't look as though words would work anywhere on it without taking away from the picture. The first 'The only key' cover is pretty good, but again, words don't seem to match with it. And depending on what type of key this only key is, including metaphorical, I don't think car keys would create the right imagery.
If I HAD to choose, I'd definitely choose the first choices for both. The others seem too relaxed for the titles and thus the hinted storyline. |
