You could also switch the width and height if you plan to make a sideways bookmark (like the example below).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Design an attractive bookmark that encourages reading and\/or promotes a book. You may use any photoshop techniques you wish. DO NOT SIMPLY PASTE IMAGES ONTO THE BOOKMARK. Any image you use should be adjusted and edited to \u00a0work within a balanced design.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>place all of the layers of your bookmark (including the background!) into a group.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Save your first bookmark with a\u00a0meaningful name such as \u00a0<strong>bookmark 1.psd<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get your bookmarks ready for printing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Create a new document: 7.5&#8243; x 10&#8243;, 150 pixels per inch<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure your bookmark documents are open.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure you have the move tool set to Auto-Select Group.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drag your bookmarks, one at a time, onto the new document.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Line up each of your bookmarks on the document. There is enough room for all five, with a small amount of space between them. If a bookmark is turned the wrong way, you can use the transfom command (command-t) to rotate it. <strong>DO NOT RESIZE THE BOOKMARKS<\/strong>&#8211; just rotate them if needed. If you hold down shift while rotating, it will be easier to turn the bookmarks exactly 90 degrees.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Save your completed bookmarks file.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Example bookmark<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Source image:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lbmslab.org\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/lazytown-series-4-robbies-dream.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/lbmslab.org\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/lazytown-series-4-robbies-dream-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lbmslab.org\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/lazytown-series-4-robbies-dream-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lbmslab.org\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/lazytown-series-4-robbies-dream-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lbmslab.org\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/lazytown-series-4-robbies-dream-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lbmslab.org\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/lazytown-series-4-robbies-dream.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Completed bookmark:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lbmslab.org\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Lazytown-Bookmark.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"239\" src=\"https:\/\/lbmslab.org\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Lazytown-Bookmark-1024x239.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lbmslab.org\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Lazytown-Bookmark-1024x239.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lbmslab.org\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Lazytown-Bookmark-300x70.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lbmslab.org\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Lazytown-Bookmark-768x180.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lbmslab.org\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Lazytown-Bookmark.jpg 1125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Notice I did not just cut out the people.
