Photoshop Project Number 3:Using Shapes and Styles

First, take a look at this video tutorial I made that shows you how to do this project: Photoshop Shapes Tutorial

1. Start by creating a new Photoshop file with width and height of 1000 pixels.

2. Locate a picture (either one of your older files or an image from the Internet).

3. Copy this picture. Click on Select > All, then Edit > Copy

4. Use the Polygonal Lasso (or any of the selection tools) to create a shape.

5. Click on Edit > Paste Into.

6. Use the Move Tool to position your image inside of the shape.

7. Click on the FX button located in the bottom left side of your layers window and apply an effect to your layer.

8. Repeat the above until you have a full variety of filled shapes filling up your space.

9.Upload it to Google docs when you are finished.
