Removing Special Features Section

Using the Brush Tool, Clipping Mask and Blend Modes 


I have decided to remove the special features section from my back cover because looking at it again I felt that I had too much text on the back cover, my images of the scenes don’t take enough room because they are small so I will have some more image to go in this gap. I will make it different from the current image on my back cover.

I decided like with the other image to use a clipping mask, but I will not be clipping the image into a rectangular shape. I used the brush tool to draw out the area I wanted the image to be placed, I didn't use the default brush, I used the number 60 brush which paints less perfect it patchy like and rectangle and appose to the round brush. I liked the way it looked, the white colour will go when the image in placed over it. 



I then had to look for the image which should be placed in the painted area, I weren't sure to begin with what to have to fill just a small area. Then I had an idea to have an image of graveyards placed there, just the top of the graveyards that way I didn't need the whole of the image, the tops is just fine. The image I found already was dark and the grave stones were grey so they would fit perfectly with my DVD back cover and its tones. Now that I had found my image, I re sized it to the area and created my clipping mask using ALT and clicking in between the two layers. I am pleased with this and I can now say that my DVD cover complete.
