How I make a background for a prom- the theme is

“Wonderland”but no cartoons. We work with the prom

committee to start.

Start with a slide

•

But they want a nightime scenewith fewer trees.

OK, first I mask off what I want from the initial slide-

And add it to a slide I created from a city skyline I took at night

and the moon I shot at Seaworld with some stars added

Combine them together

Oh, but they don’t want the mansion, and can you move the tree over and

put some flowers in?

OK, can we see it with some people in it?

This is how we’d like you to change it.

Ok- but what about the fountain, choose one and do you want all the flowers to be

starbursts and is this clock OK?

>>> Larissa Montes <5/11/2006 7:15:51 AM >>>I liked the third background that included the greenery on the sides ofthe pathway that the couple stands on.  I think that if greenery coveredthe cement completely it would look really awesome, other than that Ithink we are covered for the background.  Thank You,  Lari

And so we have the finished background…
