Steps to complete your Vision Board

2. Review your list and indicate the number of years it will take to achieve that goal (ex. 1, 3, 5, or 10 years)
3. Select approximately 15-20 images that best illustrate your above goals or dreams (create a Vision Board folder and save images there). (the images can be pictures you have taken or images from the internet - if using Google make sure that you search for only "Large" images)
4. Create text to describe images, thoughts or feelings. (other using the text tool and www.dafont.com for great fonts, or find text on the internet -- hint you can take a screen shot or an image shot with the following short cut - command+shift+4 )
5. Arrange images on a poster document in Photoshop in a meaningful manner. (think about your file size - would you want to print this or keep it for web purposes? Remember print files need to be created at 300 pixels/inch).
