Creating process:
1. I started with a solid paper as the foundation of my page.
2. I chose a photo, then I placed 2 FotoBlendz overlays, created a Group from them and clipped the photo to the group.
3. I duplicated the photo layer, and on the upper layer I applied Filter/Stylize/GlowingEdges filter, then I inverted this layer (Ctrl+I) and I added Overlay blending mode to it with 49% Fill.
4. I chose the photo of me and made the following steps:
- I created a new Black and White adjustment layer and chose the one option I liked. Then I merged the two layers (photo + BW layers).
- I added a Stroke... layer style to it and then rasterized the layer style.
- I added a Drop Shadow... layer style to it and then created a new layer from the layer style.
- I deformed the shadow layer with the Edit/Puppet Warp tool and then I added a Filter/Gaussian Blur filter to it.
5. I added some WordARTMix pieces to my page.
6. I placed a MultiMediaMoon and duplicated it to make it more emphatic.
7. Finally I created the word strips:
- I typed the first row of the quote (font: Chandler42)
- I created a new layer beneath the text layer.
- With the Polygonal Lasso tool I selected an area fit to the text (I like the deformed shapes more than the rectangles).
- I filled the selected area with White.
- I added a Pattern Overlay... layer style to it, then I rasterized the layer style.
- I added a Drop Shadow... layer style to it, then I created a new layer from the layer style.
- I deformed the shadow layer with the Warp tool, then I applied a Filter/Gaussian Blur filter on it.
- I repeated the previous steps with the second row of the quote, too.
