I wanted to give my main image some wear so it did not stand out too much on the cover. I used ripped paper as the template for the torn edges on the digipak. I used the magnetic lasso tool and inverse selected the selected area, deleting the overlapping image. I then narrowed down the tear, placing over the main image, this give the tear effect on the image.
I used the opacity eraser to blend the two image together for a seamless tear. This made the image look damaged instead of two images placed on to of on another. This can been seen in the image below. I also wore the image by leaving some of the un erased lines from the ripped paper template to further age and distort the image. I think this improves the digipak dramatically as the images seem to have blended together well and look like a real product.
Here are two versions of my cover at the moment. I have inserted the new logo on the PSD document to give me a clearer idea of my final product. As a front cover, I think the panel has potential as the text can be clearly read and the worn effect look realistic. I am yet decided on whether to include my actor in colour or in black and white. I am favouring the coloured artist as it shows that he is significant and of primary importance of the front cover.
