Photoshop/Wordle Banner

• We are going to personalize your blog some more. 
• Using Internet Explorer
• Open Wordle: http://www.wordle.net/ 
• Type or copy/paste the write-up about you into the "CREATE".
• Try different colours, fonts, layouts, arrangements.

[There are other free programs that create a shapes from a word group: http://www.tagxedo.com/ BUT you need a Silverlight for it to run and it won't work for the banner, but it is good to know about. A fun, quick and easy graphic idea organizer. And https://tagul.com/ that you can use a photo for the shape, but you need  to sign in with an account.]
For this assignment, I would rather you start simple with WORDLE.

• Once you have your Wordle the way you want it, then Save as "PNG" into your file.
• Then open your Wordle it in Photoshop.
• Go to the start menu on the lower left side of your screen.
• Click All Programs> Adobe Design Premium> Adobe Photoshop
• Open FILE [top left pop down menu]> OPEN> 
• Fine file in "Computer" > student account/guest account.
• Open the >WINDOW menu, click on >LAYER to open layer pallet.
• Open the >LAYER pop down menu on the top of the window> DUPLICATE LAYER.

• Lower the opacity of the new layer copy.
• Then use the "MOVE" tool on the tool bar to shift, spin:

You can play with layer styles, colour and filters- experiment, and most of all, have fun!
