Simple using the text tool create 10 named layers on the canvas based on the IB learner profile. Remember to make the layers transparent so you can see the layer behind it. After naming the layer and writing using the text tool you will then show how you can use the color tool also as follow the color below for the different aspects of the learner profile. Canvas size must be 800 by 600 px (Use print screen to show evidence of this) Layer 1 Inquirers Black Layer 2 Knowledgeable Red Layer 3 Thinkers Bright Green Layer 4 Communicators Dark Blue Layer 5 Principled Yellow Layer 6 Open minded Bright Blue Layer 7 Caring Pink Layer 8 Risk-takers Brown Layer 9 Balanced Dark Green Layer 10 Reflective Purple
 * Skills exercise 1**

Once again using the learner profile we will create a collage with pictures that we have researched and referenced from the internet. Make sure that we take the web address of every picture we use and we will reference it in our investigation. Canvas size must be 1024 by 768 px (Use print screen to show evidence of this)
 * Skills exercise 2 **


 * Skills exercise 3**
 * Using the** BMIS logo Belief, Motivation, Inspiration and Success find 4 pictures that represent theses 4 words. You must then show proof of each of the following steps using print screen
 * The size of the page must be 1000px by 1000px.
 * Edit these pictures so they have no writing on them.
 * Cut/Erase some of the picture so they can work together in a collage.
 * Flatten the layers into one image when finished so they all move as one.
