WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Abstractions in Photography
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Learning how to capture moments from different viewpoints, which can be interpreted by different viewers in several different ways is important. Being able to capture images demonstrates what you are capable of developing. Exploring creative photography comes down to different abilities to try new avenues within photography.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will practice different techniques and gradually show your success!

ADD A VIGNETTE! (all images MUST have this!)
A vignette is a darker border - sometimes as a blur or a shadow - at the outer edges of a photo.
Use the Add a vignette filter to reduce the saturation at the edges of your image compared to its center and add a little dimension!
Make sure you have made the layer a Smart Layer. You will see the icon on the thumbnail!

Clear enough to read but not over shadowing the image.
Leave a little room to the right and bottom so the text is not touching the edge...
Go to the MOVE TOOL (the 4 sided arrow) in the tool bar
Click and pull on the inside of the text of your name to move your name so it sits on the bottom right corner and looks acceptable (like a signature)
Be careful NOT to pull on any of the handles or it will change its size!
