Step 1: Create a new Document.
Create a new document. Choose File- New or press Ctrl+N. In the pop-up window, type a name in the Name field and enter the following information: Width 3000 pixels, Height 3000 pixels, Resolution 300 Pixels/Inch, Color Mode RGB color, and Background contents White. Click OK.
Step 2: Create The Grid.
To add the grid, choose View-Show-Grid. Choose Edit- Preferences- Guides, Grid & Slices. Choose the color you want for the grid lines. I will set the “Gridline every” option to be 1000 pixels and “Subdivisions” to be 1. Choose View-Snap and then choose View-Snap to Grid, to enabling snaping that will help you to align any object (including shape) you want.
Step 3: Select the Pen Tool.
Grab the Pen tool by selecting it from the toolbar on the left. Make sure Shape is chosen from the menu in the options bar. Choose the color of the shape and stroke by clicking the color swatch in the options bar, and then choose a color available. You can also choose a color from the Color Picker. Enter a value for the stroke size.
Step 4: Use the Pen Tool to Draw a Triangle.
Start clicking on the canvas to draw your first triangle.
Step 5: Create Variation of the Triangle.
Duplicate the triangle layer by going to Layer- Duplicate layer, then rotate using Free Transform. Choose Edit- Transform Path- Rotate 180.
Step 6: Duplicate Then Arranged all the Triangles to your satisfaction.
Now duplicate the Triangle shape we created by going to Layer- Duplicate Layer, or by pressing Ctrl+J. Then reposition your duplicate shape layer using the Move Tool. Move the Triangle shape by clicking and hold anywhere inside the shape and drag. Hide the Grid by choosing View-Show-Grid.
Step 7: Insert Image.
You must stack the image layer above the triangle layer. Select the triangle layer to which you want to insert an image. Go to File- Place to open the image you'd like
Step 8: Create a Clipping Mask.
When layers are put into a clipping mask, the content of the bottommost layer (the triangle layer), clips the layers above it (the image layer). On the Layers panel, make sure the layers to be clipped are listed consecutively. Remember, you must stack the image layer above the triangle layer. Click the image layer to be clipped, then choose Layer-Create Clipping Mask or press Alt+Ctrl+G to create a clipping mask.
Step 9: Insert Other Images.
Repeat steps 7 through 8 to open and manipulate each image you'd like to insert.
