Post Card




First I edited the picture of the Days sign. I cleaned up the sign using the clone stamp tool because those circles on the wood made it look ugly. Also there was a crack in the sign and I used the patch tool to fix it. I took out the shed behind the park using the selection tool and the clone stamp tool because it was distracting. I took out the tree branches using both the clone stamp tool and the patch tool. On the post card the opacity is set on 76%. I copied the picture and changed the blending mode to overlay.

Secondly, I edited the picture of my mom and me. I used the quick selection tool and changed the background to black and white using image and adjustments. I changed the vibrancy because we looked really white and that setting allows us to have color. The opacity is set on 92%. I copied the picture and changed the blending mode to overlay.

The family picture wasn’t a very good picture. It was out of focus and the light was a big distraction and it really ruined the photo. So, I cropped out the family and put it on the post card. I cropped us out using the polygon lasso tool. I changed the whole screen and made two screens show and slid one picture into the other.

To get the post card I made a new document and made a 4x6 layout. I used the text tool to create my text and the character to change fonts and font sizes.  

I made borders aroung the post card and the pictures. To make a border I used the selection tool, went to select, modify and border. The border guide wants the number of pixels we want selected and it won't do anything if you don't fill it. I went to edit, fill, then this guide wants the opacity and the higher you go, the more the color is visible. and there are my borders!

I created a new brush of clip art. To do that, I copied it from the internet and pasted it on a new document and listed it as bow. I changed the size using master odometer.  And I changed the opacity using the opacity setting. ALL DONE!!!
