Artistic Services Tutorial



Hi Everyone! Jakey here today with a tutorial refresher to help you create a picture for Louis 's Endangered Species Event! 
If you haven't read about this great event, hosted by Blogville's Director of Arts and Entertainment, check out how you can be a part of it HERE!! Better hurry, the dead lion to get your pictures in is January 15th!



Now, let's get started!!
First up, pick your endangered species picture! We picked the Western Snowy Plover. 



 Next head over to Pizap.com!



 Click on Edit



 Click on the place where you stored your Endangered Species picture.



 We always store our pictures on our computer, so we click here.




 Pick your endangered species picture




 Here are our plovers!


 Now, let's add Arty!
 Click on the Cut Out Tool




 Click the place your pictures are




 
 All of Arty's pictures are on our computer



Here is Arty, let's select him.



 Now let's color Arty all green!




 Oops, Mama made a mistake, but no problem!



 Just click the "Erase" button and erase any mistakes you make.



 Once your have colored in the area you want to cut hit "Finish"



 Oh no...It's Arty the Giant!! Let's shrink him a bit by dragging the corner of the cut out down a bit.



 Whew, that's better!! When you have the size you want, click on the green check mark.



and TA-DA, there is Arty on his beach with the plovers!! Now Mama is going to add Bilbo and me to the picture by repeating the same steps used to add Arty


 Here we all are!! 
Now, you can stop at this point, but we added a frame and some text to our picture.  To add a frame, click on the frame icon to the right of the cut out icon.




 
 There are lots and lots of frames in Pizap!  Take some time to look around! We went for a black frame from the "Simple" frame category.




 Next we added some text so people would know right away what our endangered species was. To add text click on the T to the left of the cut out tool.


We are just going to add a line of text, so we clicked on the "Text" box at the top.





 Then we typed our text in the white "Text Box".
We wrote in our endangered species, Snowy Plover.



 You can leave the font as it is, or you can pick a new font by clicking the arrow lit up in green above.



 We decided to go with a birdy font and picked the Penguin font!
You can also make your font bigger or smaller by adjusting the size! Just click on the drop down arrow to the right of the current font size!



 Move your font anywhere on your picture by clicking on the text box and dragging it around!
 

 Now it's time to save your picture!
First click on the blue "Save" button in the upper right hand corner.



 Then click the big blue "Save" button.



Finally, if you let your assistant save it all by themselves, make certain they write down where they saved it!! We now make our Mama either write it down or save it to her desktop so she can easily find it after it is saved!!


All of this only takes our assistant 15-20 minutes. The longest part is finding all the pictures she is going to use!

We hope this helped a little!

  6. We use photo shop most of the time for editing, but Mom can't cut out photos at all! This tool looks great on this app, so we will have to give it a try! It would be great if it really works as easily as you make it look! Thank you!

  12. Nice tutorial. Does it work the same on Apple products? Adobe Flash doesn't like Apple and we often times have 'challenges' with it. Thanks for providing. Nice job with the Plovers too!
