Image Creation:

​

To create the collage I opened the four images.  Then I opened a new blank clipboard/canvas and set its size to 500 x 360.  I individually resized each image, selected them using Command+A, copied them with Command C, and pasted them onto the clipboard using Command V.  For two of the images I rotated them before pasting onto the clipboard.  The marquis tool and the move tool were used to select and move images.  Also, I merged the layers before saving the final image.

Challenges Encountered:

​

I encountered several challenges in creating the collage.  In fact, the entire process was a challenge.  I did not know where to begin so I had to Google it.  Unfortunately, the steps were very difficult because the instructions were not very detailed.  Also, I tried to rotate the images after copying them to the clipboard.  It rotated everything so I had to delete the layers and repeat the process.  In addition, moving the images forward/backwards was a challenge because in some case it did not work as intended.  For the most part I used a lot of trial and error and had to redo things because what I was doing did not work as expected or as I had hoped it would.

New Learning:

​

The entire process was a learning experience.  This was my second time using Photoshop.  Therefore, I learned some new tools, more features of the menus, how to hide and delete layers, and everything else that was required for me to create the collage.
