In your layer palette, rename to title.**

New layer > Name it photo1.



Open the photo's you like to use and look at
each one which shape is best to use.

 Check only anti alias (line size doesn't matter).

Draw your shape.

Look for a matching shape.
Repeat the steps like the first photo.

Every next picture, repeat these steps.
All on it's own layer of course.

If you got all your photo's on your frame you can put some tubes on.
Put names below your pictures or place your headline.
Don't forget to convert to raster.
