To create the final image, I first shot the photographs of the letters I was going to use to spell my nickname, Kate. I adjusted the photos to be in black and white in iPhoto. To get the name template in photoshop, I opened the 4-letter name template in Finder under period 5 in the "Name Project" folder. Once the template was opened in Photoshop, I used the move tool and dragged the photos into the four slots provided. I sized them to fit exactly in the boxes, after each photo making sure to click on the check to keep the photos in place. I then adjusted the brightness by going to image, adjustments, brightness/ darkness. I then saved the image in the common folder (name project). It was difficult to find objects/ paintings that resembled the letters I needed to create my name (abbreviated version). The "K" was especially difficult, as it is a hard shape to find in nature. I also experienced some difficultly getting the images to fit perfectly in the template lines, as there was an image already in the template that protruded the lines and could be seen from underneath my image. I was able to fix the problem after some experimenting on photoshop. I am most happy with the way the actual letters came out. They clearly display the letter that I wanted for my name: K-A-T-E. The only thing I would have liked to fix would be the "T". I would have liked for it to look less like a cross and not take up the whole image.
