Project III Brief

UPDATE - Size Options Revised

Hey guys. I put together a revised version of your size options for Project 3. You will notice that I put all the ad sizes on the same document size, which is the 8.375 x 11.125. Just to get rid of any confusion, I'm going to make 8.375 in. x 11.125 in. the required size for all three flush-mounted boards. Please see the specifications below.

Here's a tut on how to add  an image inside of a shape. This can also be done with text, but make sure you create the text in Illustrator and go to Type> Create Outlines before you drag it onto Photoshop. This tutorial could be useful if you are interested in adding texture to our text or images.
