Beginner Blends
Using Templates for Simple Blended Photos

Do you know what a blended photo is? Are you intrigued and wanting to learn more? If so, you should take this class with the talented Jenn Lindsey! This self-paced project class is perfect for beginning digital scrapbookers who love the look of blended photos but may not know where to begin.  It is also ideal for more advanced digital scrapbookers who love photo blends and would like to achieve this look more quickly and easily. Jenn has developed a unique line of digital scrapbook templates (including photo masks) to create drag & drop blended photos, taking what previously had been an advanced technique and translating it into a simplified process that almost anyone can now utilize. Jenn will show you how to use her unique layered layout templates, each of which include a photo mask, to create blended photos in just a few simple steps. Useful tips for using the various blending modes are also included and will show you how to further customize your photo blends to show off your photos in a most appealing way.

About Jenn:
Jenn has been a creative team member at The Daily Digi since April 2010, and sells her unique line of templates at After Five Designs. She has a degree in Visual Communications, with over 10 years as a Photoshop user. Most recently three of Jenn’s layouts were published in the Log Your Memory 2010 Yearbook through www.logyourmemory.com, including the layout that is featured in the class handout.

Photoshop has so many useful tools to broaden the creative capabilities with scrapbooking, and the available blend mode options is one area that you’ll want to know. After completing this self-paced class, you’ll not only have the tools to easily create layouts with blended photos, you’ll have a better understanding of how various Photoshop blend modes work. Blending photos does not mean hiding them on your page. When done correctly your photos become the spotlight, while seamlessly integrating the memories you are documenting, the beauty of the products you are using, and the art that is digital scrapbooking.

Important information about Self-Paced Projects at Big Picture Classes!
Self-Paced Projects are instant download classes that allow you to participate at BPC anytime! These classes are different from our interactive workshops. There are no starting or ending dates -- you may enroll at any time. This flexibility also means, that there will not be the level of teacher and student interaction that we enjoy in our workshops. You will receive handouts to print and an audio file to listen to, but there are typically no message boards or chats.

Even though these classes offer less interaction, you are not alone! If you need help, email us at admin@bigpictureclasses.com. Enjoy!
