Zorbas and Photoshop

The 6th Grade Spanish students used Photoshop Elements to create a poster which described one of the characters in a story they read in class. First they created a background with the gradient tool. Then they made a border by adjusting the settings for the brush tool. Next they added an appropriate picture for the character they were describing. Finally they made two text layers: one for the title of their document and a second for the description. Once the students finished, they used the save for web command which compressed the document so it was easier to send it over the network to their teacher's drop box.
