Main reason i call this the fun part is because when I use photoshop i keep the tutorials I watch to a minimum and try to have as much fun as i can with the image. It feels more natural that way.
After scanning the image into photshop i then deleted the coloursand reverted it to black and white and added some bars to set me off.
Main reason i chose black is because in my mind i knew i would have to grunge the texture and black and white works the best for changing opacity and editing.
