Monday March 9 : Put together your Icon project

By now you should have some idea of your icon and we need to "clean" it so we can play with color.

And you are going to think about a background for it....

Build a new file that is either
6x6" square

or

6x8" rectangle tall or wide

File/Place an image into that file and HOLD SHIFT to stretch to fill.
Your image should be SOMETHING from your Abstract Photo shoot.
*Feel free to reedit something in Befunky to make a desirable background.

Copy and paste in your "clean" icon project. Clean meaning you have cut any extra shapes and joined corners and grouped your icon.

Size your icon over your photo and adjust aesthetically to your liking.
Make sure your Icon has CONTRAST and stands out over your photo.
