A multi-photo layout using clipping masks

Here's the flyer I made in week 13's lesson which was on how to do a multi-photo layout using clipping masks.


Each of the flower photos is attached to a clipping mask to hide the parts of each photo I didn't want showing on my flyer. We were given the photos and guided through a tutorial on how to create a series of four clipping masks across the top of the layout.

Then we were left to our own devices to decide how much of each photo we wanted to show though each clipping mask and to come up with some text that suited our layout. The first thing that occurred to me was that it looked like a flyer for photography lessons so that's what I went with. If it were a flyer for a real business, it'd probably have more details about the class on the back.

This layout could easily be adapted for a different purpose, just swap in different images and text. (I believe our lecturer got the idea from a baby announcement card).

*The photos used were supplied by our lecturer (and I'm pretty sure she said that she had take all these photos) which makes the images (c) Sandra Motteram
