Calendar two (October)

Here's the second part of my calendar, the month of October which is Libra.


First, I placed the picture of the girl on the workspace. The I used the direct selection tool to select the girl out of the picture.


I adjusted her position with the move tool and duplicated the layer and added a soft light effect and outer glow.


Then, I placed the picture of the background which is a picture of a ballroom and used Filter>Filter Gallery > Palette Knife. Then, I used the burn tool to darken half of the picture which the calendar will be placed at.


I placed a picture of some people at a party and used direct selection tool as well. In addition, I used filter gallery effect, palette knife on them as well to make the main subject which is the girl stand out more.


I hid all the layers done and then placed a picture of the Libra symbol and used the direct selection tool to take it out. After that, I changed its color to dark red and added inner shadow and outer glow effect.


After that, I made all the layers visible and added a line of 'lights' to separate the picture with the calendar. Actually, first, I used the pen tool to make a line. Then, I go to the brush tool and played around with the scattering and picked yellow color. After that, I right-clicked and select, Stroke Path and Brush.


After that, I added the text and glow effect and I am done. :)
