Screenshot Project

I had a lot of fun with the layer masks in this project. I originally selected the coffee from it's background image and made a layer mask and began crafting the background from there. I placed the different textures in various places, played with the edges of their layer masks, and adjusted the opacity. I used a couple of filters on the textures to add different effects as well like a pixelating tool. The graffiti on the coffee cup has streaks of color from the Adjustment Layer. I also chose to bring back a few parts of the original background that the coffee cup had by using a layer blend and erasing certain parts of it. I would probably title this work something along the lines of "Brick Wall Coffee Shop"
