Your assignment is to create a montage poster that celebrates a particular culture either from your own heritage or one of interest.
Requirements:
You must have at least 8 images and no more than 10. Don't forget that you need to use cultural icons related to your country of choice, including: images from art, music, food, festivals, customs, architecture, religion, etc...don't just use one example. You can choose a couple from each category but I expect to see a variety that clearly defines and reflects your culture.
Make a background like the one below using your own flag (google your country's flag) and map (google your flag).
My example--Australia

Pen tool your map to make a shape layer.
Step 3:
Bring your Flag into Photoshop and drag it above your shape Map layer. Then Clip it (Ctrl + Alt + G--Clipping Mask).
