So I just happened to tuck it over here, 'cause I use it all the time. If you don't see it on your screen already, you can find it from the Window menu, by going to Window, Glyphs. This is a really exciting, somewhat new addition to Photoshop. So I'm gonna grab my type tool and with my cursor in clear area I'm just going to click to just create a place for my cursor. And there's a link to it in the resource guide. So like dingbats, but they're all wedding themed. Isn't that clever? Like, instead of wingdings or webdings, it's Wed Dings, and it's a wedding based graphics font. And I happen to have this one graphic in mind that we're gonna be using from a font called Wed Dings. Or, one of I think the underappreciated places that you can find great graphics is within fonts, actually. There's so many amazing illustrations and they're really affordable that you could find there to bring in. And sketch it out, shoot or scan it, and bring it into the computer. Graphics can from your own illustrations, you could sketch something out if you've got a gift for that. There's a lotta different places that you can get graphics. All right, so we're gonna rethink this now, and we're going to add a graphic to this, which I think is really exciting. So everything watercolor related I'm gonna get rid of, because we already did that version. Now we are done with all this watercolor stuff. Okay, so now we have this vertical piece. So, I'll scale that down just a little bit and then we'll go ahead and commit it. Then I'm gonna have to bring this in a little bit, because we're obviously dealing with a narrower width, right? It was gonna be a five by seven horizontal, now it's a vertical so the width just got shorter. One other hint, you can also come up here and just type 90 degrees or minus 90 in this case and that is gonna be fine. That will scoot me out far enough to see all these handles and then I can put my cursor here and just spin the whole thing and if I hold the shift key down, I can spin it in 15 degree increments, so it'll snap to exactly 90 degrees. Now I can't see the corners, 'cause it's so big, so I'm gonna press command or control + 0. And now that I've pressed command or control + t I get this transformation box. Ose splotches and I will then shift click on this bottom layer and I'm gonna press command or control + t. So I'm going to in the layers panel here, let's get rid of that, I'm gonna select this layer two, that's th. Now we have to straighten all this out and it's pretty easy to do. So I'm gonna zoom out by pressing command or control minus just to scoot back a little bit. And the whole image and all the text and everything is gonna go sideways. And I'm gonna choose 90 degrees Clockwise. So I'm gonna come up to the image menu and I'm just gonna choose Image Rotation. So one way to do that, now that we've already got this here is we're just gonna rotate the entire document. So maybe instead of a horizontal, landscape image, maybe we wanna try something that's vertical. Maybe you wanna offer an additional version as well and maybe you wanna try using a graphic in it and maybe we wanna try playing with the orientation of this document. So if I'm looking at this, and I'm like, well that's pretty cool, I made this watercolor version. So one of the things you might experimenting with is the format.
