So...today's class focus was a storyboard. I'm sure some (if not all) of my reader's know that Titus has a "girlfriend" at doggie daycare, K9Kaos. Her name is Fifi, she's exactly a month older than he is, and she's a harlequin great dane. I personally don't have any photos of her, so I stole some from the daycare site (they take photos daily of the dogs and post them online for the owners).
What we did was create a blank canvas of 7x14 inches. We started by using the Rectangle Tool, making sure that our foreground color was something other than white (white on white...not so easy to find). We filled it with our color, by using the paint bucket tool, and then duplicated that layer two times to have the three panes of the storyboard. We moved the two new boxes to approximately where they should lay on the canvas (eyeballing the placement). Then, we selected those three layers, and aligned them by their top edges and distributing them by their horizontal centers. We also moved the boxes more towards the top, to leave room for the font in the bottom right. After setting the stage, we selected the layer for our left most box, then moved in our first photo. We clipped those two layers together (holding alt key and clicking between the layers) and then resized the photo to fit the "box" by dragging the corners. Rinse, repeat for the following two boxes. Finally, create a new layer for the text, select a color, and type. The text used on this photo is called Renaissance.
Do you think it's too cheesy?
