The following steps will guide you through how to do it in Photoshop CS3.

Open a new 12 x 12 inch file in Photoshop. I’ve flood filled mine to white so I can see what I’m doing.

Then, to create the square shape, add a new layer and set the fill colour for the shape, select the rectangular shape tool, select the fill option (this will fill the shape to your desired colour). Click and drag a rectangle.

Make sure that your shape layer is selected and click on filter > distort > wave

A new dialog box will pop up with the settings to make the edge wavy.

Set the number of generators to 5; wavelength min 1 and max 999; amptitude min 1 and max 5; scale both at 100% and the type at Sine. Click ok. If you would like a bigger curve, increase the max amplitude. See if you can turn your square into a hedge hog by increasing the max amplitude

If you want to distort the layers more, you can also use the warp tool.

Create a new layer and repeat the steps above for as many shapes as you need. Then, when you have all your shapes, you can start to insert papers and photos above the shape layer that you want it to appear in and clip it (ctrl-alt-G) to the shapes.

If the pictures are too small, click on them and Internet Explorer will take  you to the bigger version.

I’ve made a template of the layout and you can download it from NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
