Software: Photoshop
Project: Film Slides
The objective of our first assignment in Raster Graphics was to fill a minimum of 25 empty slide frames and experience the importance of selection, inverse, layer management, canvas size and the text tool. The required footer provided exposure to Image size vs Canvas size and how the megabytes of a file changes depending on resolution. The file of empty slide frames was provided by the instructor. I used images I found on an image board from PSU with giving credits to the people who captured it.

Behind The Scenes
Step 1: What I first did was cut out the frames on the right to use for images while the left is untouched to manually cut out the images to fit in the page, so I had a top folder layer and a bottom folder layer. I also added a footer for the canvas and image details for the project.
Step 2: The next thing I did after adding the images to the left was that I manually cropped out the extras of the images to fit into the frame with ease, I made sure it was all properly cut so it doesn't seem that anything is popping out.
The final product after placing all images behind the frames
