How to layout one ATC nine times on a piece of 8.5" x 11" paper
1) In Photoshop File --> New to get a new document. It should be 8.5" x 11" at 180 resolution
2) Find the unprintable border. Put in "guides" marking 1/4" from the top and sides, and 1/4" from the bottom
3) Copy and past your ATC into your new file
4) Duplicate your ATC's layer and move it. Layout 2 horizontal and 4 vertical cards as shown below.

Making images for Assignment 5
* This is an exploration project. You want to try many different types of images and pick the one that has the best chance of working on the c-n-c router and is the most interesting and aesthetically pleasing. Ultimately we are limited to a 1/16" line and a solid black and white image. Line drawings work great, photo realism not so much.
You can create the imagery for this project in various ways:
1. You can use Adobe Photoshop and alter images you photograph or find online. Take a look at the "Threshold" adjustment.
2. You can draw an image and translate using Adobe Capture CC. If you do this mark out a 6x6" square and draw using a traditional Sharpie.
3. Use Adobe Capture CC and the "shape" tool to create and image.
-If you are only using Adobe Capture you will need to try photographing lots of different subject matter under various lighting conditions.
