4. Now its time to add the images. I drew the mask in Adobe Illustrator
and the map Id scanned some time ago. Youll notice Ive
turned off visibility of my frame layer for the time being.
I dont want it as a distraction at this stage of the design. Ill
bring it back at the end. Open both image files and copy them onto separate layers in your stamp image file. Adjust the sizes until youre comfortable with the basic composition. Don't worry about their colors right now, well take care of that in the next step. This is where you get to use your creative abilities. What youre doing, in effect, is creating a digital collage. When creating artistamps use as few or as many individual images as you choose. Just be mindful that youre working with a very small canvas, approximately .75" x 1.25" if you make it the size of a real postage stamp. Tiny images will vanish once everythings put together. |
