Zoo Postcard


This was, for me, one of the most hardest projects, even if it looks really simple. In this project there was a lot of experimentation with the canvas size. To make the border and the distance between all the pictures. What we had to do was have 1 big picture and 4 little ones (as you may have noticed),and to put them how they are. Well, in this project, there was a lot of thinking because this was also a test. You may not be able to tell this but there is more than one border around the pictures.
For the elephant I had to move the picture to the right and up, and put 4 borders around it to make it look as it does now ( black, white, another white, and black). I used the crop tool on all the pictures, but you can really tell on the four at the bottom. When I finally got all the work for the elephant done, they were easy. I just put a border around them, made sure I was in the right layer and put them together.
Finally I used the text tool to write all the facts down. I played around with the font and put a drop shadow on it using the "fx" button.
