This class will walk you through the creation of a digital layout from start to finish. We’ll rely on layer masks to blend a photo into our background, thread a string through multiple objects and create cast shadows. Then, we’ll fine tune our layout with a title, additional elements, and drop shadows.

The Final Details

Adobe Photoshop CS4 is the recommended software for this class. Earlier versions of Photoshop Creative Suite will be unable to complete the Cast Shadowing tutorial. In addition to the course materials, you will receive a free companion pack featuring colorful strings for practice.

Four photos are recommended for this layout. At least one of them should be a good candidate for enlarging and converting to black and white.

Students are invited to use any digital kit available. You can also purchase the Once Papers+Elements kit used in the demonstration by Paislee Press at Oscraps.com.
