Personal Portfolio Layout - Vector Style Layout

As usual we will start with a new document with the following size: 760x770 pixels, and with a white background.

To complete this tutorial very fast, I recommend you this great set of vectors: Vector hoolanders.

Or if you have already Photoshop Designer's pack already, you can use items from this package Visit this link to see over 4000 photoshop brushes.

Once you have the graphic elements available I will open a new image with a very nice girl, and I will place this image on layout

After that I have used a vector image from my collection.

Here are some great vectors: Vector hoolanders and with the following color #b36a4a I will place a great Hollander vector file.

After that I will select Eraser Tool and I will start deleting the lines. You will need to rasterize this layer first. To rasterize a layer simply right click on the layer ( inside your layer palette , then click Rasterize ).

This is my result:
