Tessellation are images that you take a part of and then making a copy of them and making a design out of it. I created this by going to file-new. I then used the ruler tool to make the guides for the image placement. I used the ruler by going to view-ruler. Once that was turned on, I used the move tool to place the guides in a horizontal and vertical manner to create the box shapes. When the guides did not place to the exact increment I wanted, I went to view-new guide and put the inch value and put horizontal or vertical and then pressed enter. Once I finished the template, I moved on to cropping the image that I wanted to use. I dragged my photo to the Photoshop icon, which popped up in photoshop as a new file. I then used the crop tool to crop the part of the image that I wanted to use. I made sure the image was going to be 1:1 square shape. After I found the part of the image I wanted, I pressed the check mark, and then I changed the image size to fit the template. For instance, for the four inch template, I changed the image size to 4x4 so the picture could fit in the guides. I then dragged the top of the tab of the cropped image over to the template. Using the move tool, I moved the image to the top left box. I then went to layer-duplicate layer. I moved the duplicated layer to the top right and went to edit-transform-flip horizontal. I then made sure the image was in the right spot by using the purple guide lines. I then duplicated the top left image again and moved it to the bottom right of the template. I went to edit-transform-flip vertical. I repeated both of these steps for the bottom right. I duplicated the top left image, moved it to the bottom right, went to edit-transform-flip horizontal, then flipped vertical. I then moved the guides to made sure there was not white showing, once I saw that the image was a tessellation, I cleared the guides, merged the layers using layer-merge visible, and saved the image to my desktop and common drive. My favorite part of this project is being finished with the images, because it take so long to make one. I struggled with starting them up because it takes a while. If iI were to change anything about my images is i wished I got some of flowers or vibrate colors.
