What i learn in ICT class: Cover Page of Facebook Timeline by using Photoshop

In ICT class, we learned how to use Photoshop and make our own cover page for Facebook timeline. We first need to know the size of the timeline cover page photo which is 851px wide and 315px height. We than make a new page for this. Then we go search for pictures of "valentine" Facebook cover page. Because that day was valentine's day. After we find ourself a valentine's day cover page photo, we put that into photoshop, just click window and place, so that we'll see 2 layers, one is the picture layer, one is background layer. After that, we drew a heart shape on anywhere we want. Again, after that go search a picture that we want it to be in the heart shape. Then, we drag the picture from the folder to the Photoshop and then re-size it and place it above the heart shape then clicked enter. After that, we'll see the heart layer and the picture layer. So we drag the picture layer to the heart layer, and it'll show only the picture that you put in the heart and like black/white blank color. We can hide the background so that we can see everything with our picture in the heart. We can re-size the picture, the heart by un-linking the link, and also both of them together by link them by together again. If you want to resize the picture, then click on the picture and hold ctrl+T then you can resize it, and if you wont to resize the heart, then click on the heart and do the same thing. If you want to do both at the same time, then link the link back and do the samething. After that, we can double click the layer of our heart+picture and so that we can put effects on it! 

This is very cool because we can make our own cover page by just using photoshop and know the size of it. So that we won't have to go internet and try to find the pictures that you want, so it is better to do yourself with the picture that you want to use with~ the correct size! Then it'll look even better than the cover page that people did and published in the internet.
