Once I had inserted this barcode into photoshop I felt that it took up too much space as I wanted to include the logos of social networking sites underneath.

Therefore using the select tool I selected a section of the barcode that I wanted to remove.

 After I had selected the area I want to get rid of I used the backspace in order to cut it out of the image.

This was the outcome:

 I used the same tool to select the area above the section I removed and used the down arrow on my key pad to connect it with the other part of  my barcode. This gave me more room on my front cover to include the social networking logos and the magazines web address.
