Step 1: The image was brought into Photoshop and scaled down using the Free Transform tool. Rulers were turned on and guides brought down and across every 2 inches to create a 4x6 grid across the image.
Step 2: Using the Rectangular Marquee tool, one square of the image was selected, and a filter was added to it. With the Text tool, the section was labeled according to which filter was applied.
Step 3: This was repeated over all the sections, each with a different filter applied and labeled to it.
