Digipak Editing - Middle Cover 1

I firstly selected the section of blue painted wood that didn't have any yellow graffiti on it.

I then covered up the areas with yellow spray paint other than the peace, heart and smiley face symbols. 
I had to transform the images to ensure that the lines created by the separate wood planks were in line with the selection I had moved to cover the yellow spray paint.

I had to adjust the brightness for the selection I used to cover the top half of the image, as it was darker than the blue in the top half of the image.

I then used an eraser and the spot healing tool to blend the original image and the area I created. This way no-one would be able to tell that I duplicated a section if the image to cover up other graffiti. 

I then covered the image with a blue box (the same blue used on the front and back cover), and then changed the layer from 'Normal' to 'Lighten'.

Above is the first of many middle images. I am really happy the outcome of this, as I have continued the theme of graffiti from the front and back cover, but also incorporated the blue from the front cover as well. There is also texture within the plain blue background, such as the white specks - similar to the rough texture of the graffiti behind Esther on the front cover.

The symbols represent Peace, Love and Happiness which all have positive connotations will appeal to my target audience of young teenage females.
