image
Open the image in Photoshop, and after that go to Edit > Define
pattern. Choose a name for this pattern and click OK.
The next step is to create a new document where we will create our
nature portfolio layout.
I will choose the following size
Then I will Choose Paint Bucket Tool and I will set the source for fill area to pattern. I will select the pattern we just created in my last step
Then I will click one time inside the document an I will fill the document with this nice seamless wood texture downloaded from Grafplus
I will select another image from my stock collection. I will use an old style book. I will place this image over my wood texture
You can see already from 2 steps we have already a nice looking layout. With Horizontal Type Tool I will add some text
Then I will add some images. I will use some images with the last tutorial I have created in the past days
For all this small images I will add the following layer style
This is my result
With Polygonal Lasso Tool I will make a selection on the corner of the images
I will select the layer with the old book, and I will press on CTRL+J. Using this shortcut I will cut a part from the old book image and I will create a new layer.
I will drag this small corner over the image with one of my tutorials
Then I will add the following layer style
This is my result so far
With the same technique I will create also the same effect on the opposite corner
I will create the same corners for all the images from this layout
I will add also another image the right side of the book, and I will create the same corners
Now I will use a leaf image and I will add this image on the corner of the book
I will duplicate this image a few times, and after I will rotate the leaf I will have the following result
I will add the same leaf also on the other corners of my old style stock image
Then in one corner I will add also an image with a ladybug
This is my final result.
