poster/banner

In this part of today's lesson i learnt how to create a banner and then make it into a poster.
i basically created a rectangular image and used a tool called the anchor pointer and selected one side of the rectangle then bent it inwards and did the same to the other side to create that image. I then created a square and used the direction selection tool to cut it in half. I double clicked the half square and clicked on the gradient overlay option, made the degrees 90 and set the scale to 150, played around with it a bit until it was then pressed okay. Also i then reflected the image and put it in place. I then added text, found an image, used the pen tool to cut around it, found a background image and placed it in the appropriate place.
