It is conventional for photos can be brought in as rectangular
shapes and dropped into a design, working into the flow of the other
elements as best as it can. But don't stop there. let's consider
some other ways to work in photos.
You can use a clipping mask to create an unusual shape. For instance,
cutting out the shape of a head and drawing the body around it with
other tools.
 
Maximize the photo's graphic appeal. In practice this means reducing
the amount of information in the photo. Photos that have been photocopied
several times lose color and detail. They gain in brightness and
contrast. The effect is of a high impact image with a dramatic,
urgent profile.
 Photos
can be used as templates and then traced. Only the essential details
remain and the effect is of a smooth clean and iconic.
 Photos
can be used as a background and figures and character can be drawn
over it. This effect is commonly done in animations.
