Can you help my creativity please?
Hi! I'm a little bit off with my creativity right now and I need to design a book cover for a practical class. The book is called La Profecía Autocumplida by Gabriel García Márquez, The Self-fulfilling prophecy would be the title in English. The author narrates a story about an old lady who starts a rumour about her town, repeating that something bad is going to happen. The gossip gets bigger and bigger between the people of the town 'till they get really scared and leave everything behind (their houses, jobs, plus they burn everything down.)
My question is: How would you design a book cover taking into account the rumour and some aspects of the story using rhetoric of the images? I've tried a lot of things but they get too literal and again, my creativity is blocked.
I really appreciate any help you can provide.

It all depends on the project. Raster images are resolution dependent, you loose quality if you enlarge the image. Vector graphics maintain image quality when enlarged and are best suited for logos, or any design that will be reproduced in different sizes.

Why is black in CMYK called key?
When printing is done using metal plates, the black plate is called the Key plate. This is because it contains the artistic detail or "key" information.
It eliminates confusionA fun but unlikely explanation:In the really old days of printing, apprentices were called printer's devils, and one of the devil's jobs was to load ink into the press--a very nasty, fairly dangerous task. When process printing came along, very few people had multi-unit presses--you'd put down yellow first, then cyan, followed by magenta and finally black. (If you DID have a multi-unit press, it could only print two colors at once and process work requires four colors.) Every time you finished one color, you had to take the plate out of the press, clean it, coat it in gum arabic, then scoop the ink out of the fountain, wash the press, and reload everything for the next run. It only sounds like a time-consuming pain in the neck because it is. Plus you'd have to register the press to the colors that were already printed and get the color set right. If you're running four colors on both sides, you're looking at several days of work.
So check it out. You are a devil working with a printer who's running 25,000 impressions. You got to work at 6am and have been toiling all day. At 8pm, your boss tells you, "Devil, ink up the press for the last color and we'll get started." Now here's the situation: You've been up since 4:30. You had to walk five miles from the printer's basement to your post. You've been sniffing solvent all day so you're high as a kite, you've been doing very heavy work and the last time you saw food was at noon. So you scrub down the press, hang the plate, look at the color label: "B." You stagger, whether from lack of food or lack of oxygen, to the ink room and grab the first can that has a "B" on it. By now you can ink the press with your eyes closed which is good because you can hardly see the press even though it's painted white, and the end the ink goes in isn't lit that well in the first place, so you open up the can, grab your ink knife...and trowel five pounds of blue ink into the press.
This happened. A lot. And it was legal to beat devils.
To keep it from happening any more, the printer's union decided black ink would be abbreviated "K." They later decided "K" stood for "key" because everyone kept asking, "why are we using 'K' for black?"

Why is Microsoft publisher used more for making leaflets than Microsoft Word?
Because it's easier to place graphics and move stuff around in Publisher than in Word.
A tablet is basically a board you plug into your computer and use a tablet pen to draw on, or to simply replace the mouse. Wherever you move the pen on the board, the cursor on your screen moves to the same location (ex; if you put the pen at the corner of the tablet board, the cursor moves to the corner of the screen). You can read more about tablets here; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digitizing_tablet

I have a Toshiba Satellite with windows 8.1.As I turned it on everything was OK but after a minute or so my touchpad stopped working,it doesn't move it will scroll and click but without the cursor moving.I figured that it actually works but I have to double tap the touchpad and then move but after I stop it won't work again and I have to double tap it every time to move it and it makes things very hard.I tried restarting it and turning it off and then on again and just after it goes on the touchpad works fine but again after a moment it stops.What should I do?
Update: I also tried disabling and then enabling it but it doesn't work.
