My take on the flower grid

After seeing Laura's flower grid I had to try it myself.   Along the way I wrote down what I did and took a few screen shots.  Probably not the best or most efficient way, but I think it turned out pretty well.

The Image
I wanted a 16x20 print with a square image so I dug through until I found a flower shot that would look good in a square proportion.  Color wasn't all that important since I'm going to change the colors anyway.



Cropping & Canvas Size
I wanted a 1 inch border on each side of the 16" width so the image needed to be cropped to a 14 inch square. 

And then I changed the canvas size twice.  Once adding 2" all the way around to give me a 16" square and then 4" to the bottom to make the canvas 16x20".





And I added a solid black layer behind the image to make it look more poster like.

And I was left with the following image.



All that was left was my name.  I typed my name and dragged a duplicate of the flower layer underneath.  The bright orange was too much so I changed the saturation and darkened it a little.

very nice

Cool Ryan!
