Book Cover #1

I recreated a book cover for the book "Handle With Care" by JOdi Picoult. The book is about a little girl named Willow with Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), also known as brittle bone disease, who's mother decides to fight for her behalf no matter what she has to do. OI is a very dangerous disease where a persons bones are incredibly weak and can break very easily. When an OI patient's bone break their eyes get a blue tint to them, especially when the break is severe. The book really struck me because the it was a very moving story so I wanted to make the cover striking but simple. I altered the picture to bleach it out a little bit then I used a layer mask to get her peeking through the cover. As a finishing touch I put a scratched texture over it to somewhat match the letters.
