Step 8 Place the model shot on the centre of your artboard. This image has been kindly provided by photographer Kate Frankfurt but you can use stock photos from our Download Zone or use your own pictures. If your model is on a background, make sure you cut them out so you can wrap elements around them.

Step 9 Create a folder by hitting the Create A New Group button on the bottom section of the Layers Panel. Rename it as ‘Foreground Elements’ and place it on top of the model shot layer. Create another folder and rename it as ‘Background Elements’ and place this under the model shot layer. This will help you classify layers when you start placing multiple design elements on your artboard.

Step 10 Now it’s time to create an array of dynamic visual compositions using the design elements you made in Illustrator. This can be achieved by aligning and redistributing multiple design elements using the Align tool (Shift+F7) in Illustrator or just by randomly grouping them.
