Adverts - Plasterer

Here I will show you how I constructed the plasterer advert.

1. Open up the image and a new file. Edit the image until just the plaster spatula remains and copy and paste it into the new file, then position and re-size. Create a new layer and fill in a white background.

2. Select the pen tool and draw several blue (window > colour) lines around the edge of the canvas, each one with its own layer.

3. Create a new layer and add text. And that's it;

I may change this and move the info below the first line down a little, for a larger plain space that could be 'filled in'. I also feel that the first line fits in with the newspaper as people often buy them to update on local news. I like this as it works on different levels.
