Helpful hints

Today we continue working on our skulls. Remember:
-Use both radial balance and symmetrical balance (see last post)
-Use a complimentary color scheme (red/green, blue/orange, yellow/violet)
-Use brushes and stock photos equally to decorate your skull
-Fill the skull completely.

Shortcuts:
CTRL-J : Duplicates a layer
CTRL - SHIFT - J : Cuts something into it's own layer
CTRL - T : Transforms a layer (resize, flip, rotate)
CTRL - ALT - Z : Undo
CTRL - SHIFT - I : Inverts your selection
CTRL - D : Deselect

To RUN A CONTACT SHEET:
1. Put all your finished PNGs into one folder
2. Open photoshop and click FILE--> Automate--> Contact sheet II
3. Choose your folder at the top by choosing "browse"
4. In the BOTTOM section where it says "columns" and "rows", enter 5 cols and 10 rows
5. Click OK and hands off! Let photoshop do its thing.
6. Save as JPG and drop into the turn-in folder
