| The complete block. |
We opened the drawing jpeg in Photoshop and then clicked the padlock to change the background to a layer. To tidy up the drawing we turned the snap tool up and then cropped the edges off as they were untidy.
We then zoomed in so that we could smudge any remaining parts into the corners so we had a complete picture.
We then changed the size of the canvas to 480 x750 and moved the picture down to the bottom and added 1500 to the height in pixels so there was extra space at the top and then dragged the picture while holding alt so that it would make a copy and drag it up into the space above and then flipped it vertically so that it matched up. (picture 2) Then we edited and flipped the top one vertically so that they lined up (picture3) and then changed the canvas size so it's double the width and defined it as a pattern. We then got a new file and made it 300x300 and changed the resolution to 72 and used the pattern paint tool to repeat it several times.
This will benefit me as I will be able to make my own print patterns so that my work can be more unified and unique while still be exciting. It will also help me to be able to do other things on Photoshop now that I know more simple steps, such as how to easily replicate something, change the size, merge layers etc.
