Mirror Image / Kaleidoscope Techniques : Symmetry and Repetition

For this task I decided to try the kaleidoscope effect on Photoshop

This is how I did it in steps:

  1. Open a new image
  2. Open a new canvas, set the width and length to 8 (inches) and set the ppi to 300
  3. Press Ctrl R on your keyboard then take the ruler from the top and put it in the center
  4. Drag your image onto the new canvas and then size it till it fits on of the halves off your canvas
  5. Next, duplicate the layer, then drag it to the bottom half of the canvas
  6. Rotate the image 90 degrees
  7. Edit your photo to your liking
  8. Save as JPEG

I really like how this turned out and I would like to use this technique in upcoming projects.
