And For Our Big Finale

This is it. 
We are reaching the end. 

You have been able to learn the basics that will help you start out on Photoshop. 
Keep in mind you can always go here for more blogs with step-by-step help! 

I'll leave you on a parting note how basics can change into something bigger.

Back in the first post, I talked about the importance of where a layer is placed. In another post we talked about the lasso. Let's take the two and some imagination to make a Game Day Graphic.


Seems simple right? All the things we had talked about before with some extra logos?
 Take a closer look.
The players are in between the wording. The Gameday is behind the players but in front of the crowd. Because of the lasso and the layers, this is all possible. 


In this situation, we have taken the same picture and sandwiched it around the Gameday text. Also as a quick note, the team's names are up higher in the list so they stand to the front more.

Once the pictures are sandwiched you need to take out your handy dandy lasso tool! Regular lasso, not magnetic though!

Begin lassoing around the players slowly peeling back the top photo to show the wording. 

Again, simple but it seems hard! Photoshop is almost a "fake it 'til you make it" situation. 
You can make professional looking graphics and be self taught like both myself and my Director are. 

The key is finding amazing blogs much like this one and videos that can help you along the way! 

Happy 'Shopping!
