Please follow the directions below:

Turn off ALL of the layers except the background
Name each layer from bottom to top (turning each on as you go up the layer list)

Turn off all layers except the background layer
NOTE: you MAY not need to do this part if you NEVER moved the camera
Start with the layer that is directly, turn it on, then set it to MULTIPLY blending mode on the layer's palette
Choose the move tool on your toolbar
Use your arrow keys on the keyboard to move the layer around if needed. Stop when the layer looks CLEAR (not blurred)
Change the blend mode back to normal once it is aligned
Start at the BOTTOM & go up the list of layers, turning one on at a time
1. Then set the layer to multiply blending mode
2. Next align each layer to the background
3. Set the layer BACK to normal blending mode
4. Align each layer with this method until you get to the top of the layer's palette

Turn off all the layers (use the eyeball icon on the layer's palette) except the background layer
Turn on the layer directly above the background layer
Add a layer mask to that layer
Use a SOFT edge, round, black brush to cut a hole in that layer to reveal what is under that layer
Do this to each layer.
As you go up the list (turning on the eye ball), you will cut larger or more holes in the newly visible layer to reveal the photos that are underneath

1. File > Place
Drag guidelines so that you have a guideline border of 1/2" all the way around the page
- DO NOT PLACE ANY TEXT OR GRAPHICS OUTSIDE OF THIS GUIDELINE AREA
Proportionally adjust the size of your MMI layout on the page, leaving a "heavier" space at the bottom of the page for text
Double click the MMI layout layer and add a black stroke to the INSIDE of your design

Create a NEW photoshop document size: 10" x 2"
Design a sentence that goes along with your MMI poster (it can be a line from a quote, lyric, poem, or you can write it)
REQUIREMENTS:
- Must be 1 or 2 sentences only
- Must have 2 fonts (one main font and one accent font for an important word)
- Design the sentence
  - DO not skew or stretch text out of proportion
  - Keep some white space around sentence(s)
  - Refer to professional typography for inspiration

Save BOTH a psd (photoshop, layered) and a jpeg (flattened) version of this

On your 10"x8" page you need the following layers:
1. MMI layout (flat) with stroke
2. Quote near bottom
Align everything so that it is centered and arranged how you like it
Make sure that you have left at least a 1/2" border around the edge of the page
Save and turn in as MMI-lastname (jpeg) into the teacher's desk in groupshares
