Can you show us the exact thing you did? It would be easier to give tips. But yea i suggest spacing it out. Maybe an extra box to give you more space to write.

Well I already know how to do the tables and stuff but what I have really tough time on is making the image next to the table like first I wanted an avril theme but I don't know what to do. I tried it once but I had a tough time on making her picture transparent. But one thing that really has been bugging me is I want the table to be scribbled how do I do that?

Yeah Something Like that except for the tables I want to have them scribbled but I don't think I can have them that way because I don't have the pencil tool but oh well I think I would have them just plain but yeah like that insomniac.

You dont nesscary need a pencil tool . you can use the brush tool and get like a line brush or a scribble brush set the size low and draw .

you mean the fill tool?

make a new layer but still be on the original layer, and using the selection tool, set it to point to point, select the stuff you want to remove, press delete, switch to the new layer, and fill it with the background of your choice.


or... select the background the same way, but dont press delete. go to selections - Invert , press delete. put the background you want below that layer.

i like it.

but really, you should just make an image, and then make the layout around it. dont make the image around the layout.

did that make sense?

well, for me, i just randomly make a blend or something, and then decide to make it a layout.
i dont usually think, o im going to make a...harry potter layout. i usually think, im going to make a harry potter blend. if it comes out alright, i might turn it into a layout.

well, you can either feather out parts of it and put it on top of a background, or make spaces on it for your info. just be creative.
