The first step in creating my business card is to use one of the graphics I created last week (using filters) for my background. To do this I have gone into image size and changed all settings to match my card size. Resample Image was also chosen to change the pixel dimensions, after the first attempt was too big to place on the card.
Using the move tool, the picture was dragged onto the card background layer. Opacity was lowered to 60% in the layers palatte. Later this would be lowered to 50% because it overpowered a later quilt graphic which was added.
Each section (sentence) of text was added on a new text layer. I had some trouble using the Align and Distribute features so I'm going to give this another try on a second card.
This is my first card, please note all information is fake :-).
My second card (also based on false information) is below, this time I created the background graphic using the custom shape tool. Yet again the "snap to" function did not appear to work, in the end I opted to place the text in different positions and not in a neat row as planned.
This week has been lots of fun and I can't believe tomorrow sees the arrival of the last lesson in Launchpad A :-(
