Poster Third Draft - Adding the Tear

Here is how I created the torn paper effect to convey Eve's split personality and to hint that the seemingly normal at first poster is not all that it seems

First I found some torn paper brushes on the internet to download to give the effect that I wanted



I then duplicated the background layer and added a layer mask

With the layer mask selected I used the paint brush tool with the torn brushes I had downloaded to create a rip across the background

I then hid this layer and repeated the same process again to create the bottom half of the rip

See below what they both look like together

Next to make the tear more realistic I added a white outline. To do this I created a new layer which I filled white and added a layer mask again. This time I cut out the centre of the tear leaving a border at each of the edges to give the white effect at the edge of the rip.





Lastly I added and Hue/ Saturation layer and turned the saturation down to 0, leaving the original base layer below the tear, making behind the tear appear to be in black and white
