Photoshop: iMe Silhouette Project For this project you will need four pictures of you. You should have a few you can use from the previous project or if you have an idea that you absolutely need to take a new photo off you may grab a partner and have them take your pictures. Any picture taking for this project will happen in the room or in the hallway, that is all. At least one must be a full body shot, one must be a profile shot, and the other two should use objects or poses to tell me a little bit about you. So, what can you tell me about YOU using just silhouettes? ** __PHOTOSHOP STEPS__ **: 
 * 1) Select/Take your photos. Be creative and “overact” with poses.
 * 2) Create a new PSD file—8” wide and 10” tall.
 * 3) Fill the background using either a bold solid color or some type of colorful gradient.
 * 4) Add a page border by selecting all and adding an inside border (Edit, Stroke)
 * 5) Select your silhouette (your choice on method), fill selection with black (Edit, Fill, make it 100% solid black, normal blending), and use move tool to drag it to the new document; you should set your feather __before__ selecting to 1 or 2 px to give a softer edge. Make it smooth/anti-alias.
 * 6) Use shapes to frame up the pictures (squares are used in the example). Be sure your shapes are on higher layers.
 * 7) Add text—iYourFirstName in a font of your choice, black. Add a drop shadow or other text effect as you like.
 * 8) Save your finall product as a .png or .jpg, and Turn it in on Edmodo.
