This tutorial will help you showcase your unique wall art - on a wall! Most people will buy your work if they can see it used in real life, so give it the edge it needs! here is the image we will be setting up >
—————
Ok, so to get started, I have saved you a bit of time and made the PSD file fro ADOBE PHOTOSHOP available to download > Click here and Save to download the PSD file.
Obviously this will be for setting up your artwork, not mine. So you will need to have three prints ready to be displayed like the image above. Whenever i mention my prints in this tutorial, insert your work instead.
—————
When you open the WALL MOUNT DOWNLOAD file you will see this. You can click on the EXAMPLE layer to see the Crazy Fish.
1. What we need to do, is get your artwork. So, go to FILE and OPEN your artwork. In this case for me, it is the Crazy Fish Print 1. What you will notice is that the original artwork is a large file and therefore needs to be resized.
2. To resize the image, follow the steps indicated in the following picture.
3. Now, Click on the MOVE TOOL and then at the top right of screen, Click on the RESTORE DOWN button. This will shrink the area where you are working in.
4. Now, setup both working areas to overlap like this.
5. Now what we want to do is drag the Crazy Fish image into the Wall Preview picture. Click on the Crazy Fish PRINT 1 image and drag into the WALL MOUNT DOWNLOAD layer. This should make a duplicate as pictured in the image below.
6. Close your PRINT 1 and DO NOT SAVE. Saving this will keep it at the smaller size. Again, DO NOT SAVE!
7. You will need to do steps 1-6 for all three of your artworks. Once you have all three images dragged in the WALL MOUNT DOWNLOAD file, you need to arrange them like the image below. (You may have to resize each image)
8. Now might be a good time to Save your work. FILE, SAVE AS, and save it where you will remember it!
