Software Practice Photoshop/ Client Profile

 Today we are creating a client profile on Photoshop.  For my project I am creating a performance art video

I opened Photoshop.  I clicked on 'File' in the top menu and then 'new' .  I then chose 'Print' in the top menu of the dialog box.  I then chose A3 size canvas and I chose landscape orientation.  I then checked it was 300dpi resolution which is high quality. Then I chose a white background and then clicked 'create'.

Then went to Unsplash and chose an abstract image that was copyright free.  I then went back to Photoshop and clicked on 'File' in the top menu and then 'Open'.  I then went to 'select' in the top menu and 'select al'.  I then went to 'Edit' in the top menu nd then 'copy' I then clikced bak into my canvas and clicked on 'Edit' and 'Paste', I tehn used the transform controls to drag the image over the canvas then clicked filaly on the move tool in my tools menu.

I then changed the opacity to 55%.  I then needed to find my client. i chose a suitable Gen X man and I opened thsi image in Photoshop.  I changed the image to black and white as this will work with project.  I did this by clicking on 'image' in the top menu then 'adjustments' and then 'black and white'.

My next step was to select the image of the man using the same process as above to place him in my canvas.  I used the move and transform controls just to place him where I wanted. I then clicked on the'T' tool in the tools menu and then clicked on canvas to create a title.  This was in Berlins San FB at 72pts. 

Lastly today I add using the text tool as before the name, age and occupational of my ideal client.  I used the gridlines and checked spacing was exactly the same between each line.  Then I went back to the 'move tool' to finish

I continued writing using the text tool and changed size and layout accordingly.  I also used the gridlines to line up all the text in a pleasing manner on the page.

My final job was to click on 'Edit' in the top menu and then 'Check Spelling' I then saved the work as a psd file and a jpeg so that I could easily use this in any program. 

My final work is here
