This design is meant to warn students in middle or high school not to use marijuana.
I like the concept with the brick and graffiti. I think the guy looks a little squished, though I can't tell if that's because the photo itself is squished or if he's maybe just a little too small for the environment (bricks are bigger than they should be next to him?). The mask looks pretty good on him, but I think there are other ways you could blend him into the scene better (lightning, shadow behind him, color cast, etc).
Also, I wonder, do you even need the person in the piece at all? Maybe it narrows who can relate to it too much? Perhaps the type could be center of attention and you could play more with that? I don't know if this is the right answer but it's something to think about.
As Jon said the guy is squished down a bit not scaled quite right which gives him a wider appearance. But i like your use of the graffiti like font, i feel like the yellow text may be a little harder to read against the orange section of the wall.
Yes, please fix that poor person - they are definitely distorted. Hmm... do you need the student. Maybe you DO need him, but not just standing there. What about enlarging him (significantly), and bleeding 1/2 of him off the page to the right? Think about it - his figure would become much more interesting on the page. We will only see 1/2 of him! I suggest you enlarge the heading, so it works together with his figure to become a focal point. The yellow type is very hard to read - so enlarge it, change it's color, and blend it a bit with the bricks so we see the texture of the wall in the letters. It's coming along!
