Introduction

This is what we'll create in this episode: a collage of landscape photos with mountain, beach, and city photos neatly cut into circles, hexagons, and rounded squares using clipping masks. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Illustrator series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. A clipping mask displays the object below only within the shape of the top object. This technique is essential for photo collages, round avatars, and social media designs.

Step 1: First photo

Create a square document. Place a snow mountain photo with CC0 license in the top left, slightly larger than the area needed.

Step 2: Clipping shape

Draw a circle on top of the photo in the area you want to display, which is the mountain peak. The clipping shape must be on top.

Step 3: Make Clipping Mask

Select the photo and the circle, then press Ctrl 7. The photo is now only visible within the circle. In the Layers panel, a clipping group with a clipped item appears with an underline.

Step 4: Hexagon and rectangle

Place the sunset beach photo and clip it with a hexagon from the Polygon tool. Place the sunset box photo and clip it with a rounded square.

Step 5: Editing the content

If the part of the photo that appears is not quite right, select the clipping group and click 'Edit Contents' in the properties, or double-click. Move the photo inside the frame without moving the shape itself.

Step 6: Complete collage

Give each shape a thick white border and arrange all three with titles above a soft background color. Save and export the collage.
