Layout Help? + Sons of Anarchy Stuff.

I'm writing a new story but I need some help on a layout, I'll admit I am not the best at making layouts or banners but I've been getting better and well I have a new Sons Of Anarchy story I'm going to be starting up I've already got the first two chapters written out already and I'm loving it so far. I don't get why Sons Of Anarchy stories aren't more popular ya know? I'm an SOA addict I have a blanket about a million and one posters and I own all of the DVD sets for seasons 1 - 5 and I have season 6 pre-ordered. You can say I'm addicted!!!! It's pretty bad though.

Anyways back to my layouts :

Layout number 1:


or layout number 2:



Honest opinions? Questions? Comments? Requests?

by requests I mean I do make banners/layouts for fanfictions only oh and by the way, I've missed you all terribly!
