You will need to create a new file that is either 8 x 10 or 11 x 17. Open PS go to file New and set dimensions. You will also need to choose a new font from dafont.com to sure in labeling your final image. Make sure to include the title of 10 Rules of Photography.

Checklist:
___ 10 Images.
___ Clear theme.
___ All 10 Rules of Photography are labeled using the text tool.
___ The text tool was used properly and the font matches the theme.
___ Composition is balanced.

Tips for the 10 Rules of Photography Project

Make sure all your images are under 8 inches by 10 inches and all have the same resolution. Your Photoshop canvas will be about 8 inches by 10 inches so you will transform you image when you make the collage.

Resize all your images in Preview before you open Photoshop. Watch the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWqXD-Fvk0Y

Make sure your new file in Photoshop is the right size and RESOLUTION.

After you images are edited and you have a new file open watch the video if you need help with making your collage in Photoshop

It is best to lay out all of your images first and than label them using the text tool. Be careful with your layers. If you cannot see the text it is because the layer the text is on needs to be above the image. Watch the video



It might be best to compress all your images layers together before you start the text layers.
