How I made the polaroid layout on Photoshop

The making of the polaroid images was actually extremely easy to do, which in a way encouraged me to experiment more. I feel that had I taken the images with an actual polaroid film camera, they would have 100x more ascetically pleasing however I still wanted to try the layout in this format, simply to see if the type of images I want to take would work as a polaroid. 

Here is the finished edit of the image.

I then using the 'CROP' tool created a bored around the image - much like the shape of a polaroid. I made sure the top and two sides were all equal by the grey boxes from the tool itself.

Then by using the PAINT BUCKET tool, making sure the colour was set to white. I simply clicked in the cropped new space and it automatically turned the whole area white. This being the main polaroid and backdrop for the image.

Finally, by using the TEXT tool, I chose the colour and font I wanted and simply clicked into the image, typed the heading and made sure it was in the middle. Placement was an important aspect of this step. I found that if there is two lines of text, use two sets of text boxes as it makes it easier to move and line up.
