Day 32 : Manipulating photos for Contents page

First of all I got a picture which would be easy to edit using the magnetic lasso tool.
I selected my artist excluding the background from what I plan to use.
I then copied it to a new layer and deleted the remaining bits of the green background, which remained on parts of her hand and jacket. 

I added a new layer and put a picture of graffiti in the background, this resulted in the photo giving the illusion that this is the original background I took the photo on.
To make the original cropped photo of my artists on layer 1 look better, I decided to add effects to make her stand out more instead of it not harmonizing with the background.

This is the site I got the graffiti background from. I didn't use my own picture of graffiti because the lighting clashed with the cropped image of YEZZI, so I decided to use a grafitti wallpaper to manipulate and use for my contents page.
