Download at least nine large images of the topic you picked and save them to your Graphics folder.

Download at least five "texture" graphics. and save them to your Graphics folder. You may want to make a special subfolder for these as other projects will also be using the texture graphics.


You can seach for "Web Backgrounds", "Web Texture" or other terms to find tiled textures on the Internet. There are many sites with texture graphics available. A couple good ones are:
