change featured posts and "home" page

dear support, I am very happy with this theme and everything seems to work just fine, but there are two things i need help with: 1; on the main page i would like to remove the Home title and just show the slider and the featured posts. can someone explain how that is done? ( it should be something like: .home #main { display: none; } but then with the featured posts) 2; i would like to change the layout and have the title of the featured post above the image and information under the image, and the image larger than now (with (if possible) text in the image like the slider has) I hope someone can help me with this
