Next assessment
If our website vision isn't yet completely formed yet, think of something relatively like it and (don't steal but) borrow inspiration from that site.
If it is similar in any way to anything that already exists, make sure to differentiate. The website needs to reflect originality.
Images are another large component of the assessment, they will appear somewhat ammeter but that's okay. All base images need to be own created or taken. Any layer images used to edit own image must be from Wikimedia Commons.
If looking to cut out a section of an image look for something with a simple background.
Mythical creatures - involves a lot of photo shop work
Light hearted and humorous  sites are okay. the language does not have to be
Gimshop & Komposer is the same as Photoshop, free to download from home but same high quality.
To optimize Google Image search, access search tools. From here you can choose size, line drawing, colour etc.
To cut a section of an image, save both, have them open in Photoshop.
Layers. Your background is your base image, and you have a layer over the top to edit in.
If an image is locked make a copy and delete the original.
The history option is good if you mess up an image, it gives all the steps done so far to the image.
There are 3 components to the Lasso tool, regular lasso tool is tricky to use, you have to free hand draw, the polygonal  lasso allows you to click to click and straight lines appear, the magnetic lasso identifies colour differences and is good if a clear contrast background is present in the original image.  The eraser is another way to delete unwanted background.
The magic wand allows to to change the tolerance  to select the right amount of the image to delete.
You want to lasso the background you don't want, then delete it.
