Remember to save often
Step 1.
Open a image 600 x 300 open up your sand copy and paste as a new layer,
open up sea scene, copy and paste as new layer,
name as Sea 1 now move the sand half way down.
Step 2.
Copy and paste your sea scene as new layer and crop the bottom of it,
copy and paste as new layer on your image,
make sure it lines up with the sea you have there,
name this Sea 2 close off for now
Step 3
Copy and paste your tube re-size if necessary, I used a dolphin,
I did mine by 50% give it a drop shadow,
place it so it looks like its just coming out of the sea,,
I did a free rotate right 45, duplicate now move the dolphin up a bit,
duplicate this three times moving the dolphin up to top of tag,
the fifth dolphin should be right out of the water, at this point open up sea 2 and move it to top of your image, active dolphin 5
and duplicate and free rotate 35 left, duplicate again,
and move it up to top of your tag, and free rotate 35 left again
duplicate three more times, this time move the dolphin down to look as if its going back into water, name all your Dolphins 1 to 9, close all but Dolphin 1 off,
Do Shift and D this is for your AV and put to one side for now
Add your copyright and name.
Step 4
New Raster layer fill with a dark colour I used #054571,
Select all Modify, Contact by 6 hit delete and Select none
