A mandala is a circle made up of triangular cut outs of a photograph that are transformed either vertically or horizontally to come together to make a circle. First, I opened the mandala template in the period 5 folder in the common drive, then I used the magic wand tool to select the top left triangle and then dragged the tab out. Then I chose a photo from iPhoto and dragged the triangle over a part of the photo I wanted and copy and pasted it to the template. Then I duplicated the layer and flipped it horizontally and placed it right next to the first one and merged the layers. I continued this pattern until I had a full circle, merged all the layers, and saved it as a jpg. I really liked this project because it was easy to catch on to and I love the cool patterns you can make. If I did it over again, I would invert the colors to all my photos to make the colors and patterns even cooler.
