Recently I have learned how to make my own storyboards in Photoshop. I have also decided to share my storyboards with all of you. This is the very first one... of many I am sure.
The download is a PSD (sorry but currently photoshop cs5 is the only editing software that I use). It includes clipping masks already installed. If you are new to clipping masks, they are very simple. You have two options. Option 1: download GroupIt, a free action by The Coffee Shop Blog and run the action according to the directions on their website. Option 2: Open your images in photoshop like normal. Use your rectangular marquee tool to select the entire photo and use Ctrl + C . Make sure that the clipping mask for the layer you are wanting to place the photo is selected and use Ctrl + V. Right click on the photo (make sure that the layer with the photo is still selected) and use Free Transform to resize your photo to fit in the space. I try to leave a little outside the frame. The black square is not a space for a photo but for your logo or possibly a name. There is a white boarder around the storyboard. The color can be changed by selecting the fill tool and your color. If you have a blog that has a transparent background then you may choose to remove the background all together. Simply delete the background layer, flatten the image, and save the file as a .PNG file. I hope that you enjoy using my storyboards. Download this one here.
