1 Photoshop Activity #05: Creating Composite Pictures /Collages Overview You can create composite pictures for an unlimited number of purposes and subjects! Literature units, science, history, virtually any subject can be highlighted in a collage style composite picture. Or they can just be for fun! (not that those other subjects aren t fun they are but you know what we mean!) Once you are introduced to the basics of creating composite pictures, let your creative minds take over! Be prepared to be impressed with what you can create with Photoshop Elements! After reviewing the following tutorial steps and examples, you are to create a collage of your own! The topic may be anything that s school-appropriate. It can be about yourself, a hobby, a sport or activity, etc pretty much anything goes! Samples are found in the below tutorial and at the end of this informational file. How many pictures should make up your collage? The number will vary depending on your approach to this activity, but we d like to see at least five (5) images or more! The tutorial included below is just one approach that you can take in the creation of your collage. As with many photo projects, you may vary your approach and techniques to suit your needs and experiences. Don t be afraid to try different techniques! You may work together on this activity but EACH of you must submit your own completed collage. Have fun! Steps: 1. Create a new canvas: File>New. 7.5 inches x 10 inches is usually a full size picture in print form. Or pick a size that works for you!

2 2. Decide what you want your background to be. If it is a solid color, a gradient mix of colors, or a custom design, then you need to create a new layer, name it something like, back and create your background. 3. If you want to use a picture for your background you must first have it available either as a saved file. Open your picture: File>Open, and then browse to your picture. 4. You can move your entire picture to the working canvas by clicking on the background layer and using the move tool to drag the picture over. As long as the layer is named background it can be moved over with the move tool. If the layer is named index, you must first select the area with a selection tool, such as the rectangular marquee tool and then move it over with the move tool.

3 After a picture is moved selecting it and using the handles on the corners to adjust the size can resize it. If you want to make sure you don t change the pictures perspective, hold the shift key down as you resize it

4 5. Open any additional pictures you want to add to your collage. 6. If the picture is on a solid (or almost solid) color, or on a transparency, the best tool to use is the magic wand Using the magic wand tool, select the solid color background, adding to the selection if necessary until all the background is selected. Then Select>Inverse, to select the actual inside object. Last, use the Move Tool to move the object to the working canvas

5 The clipart is now a part of the picture. 7. Pictures with more detailed backgrounds may need the Feather approach: Steps to feather: 1. Using the Lasso Tool, Trace around the desired object 2. Select>Feather 3. Type in the desired feathering radius, usually around Click ok 5. Use the Move Tool to move the selected object to the working canvas

6 The bride and groom are now a part of the picture-notice they are also flipped. This is easy to do. When the picture is selected, simply grab a side handle and drag it to the other side! 8. Add other pictures to complete your collage:

7 9. Add text if desired: Adding Text: 1. Select the Text Tool 2. Type the desired words 3. Apply text warps and blending options as desired. 4. Resize as desired with the Transform Tool: Edit>Transform Select the Layer Styles tab for text options like bevels and shadows. To charge the shape of the text, select the text tool so the text toolbar is active. Then select the Text Warp tool. 10. Finished Product! - When you re done with your collage, submit it to our shutterfly, flickr, or other class uploading/sharing site as instructed. Student Examples: This is what homelessness looks like to two students. Students made these collages after reading the book The Outsiders. One of the characters in the book is homeless.

8 Illustrated history reports: Students have lots of fun expressing themselves!
