Step 1: Make the page the correct size
I opened up Adobe PhotoShop and clicked 'New'. After, I clicked 'Custom' on the paper-type. On one of my own CD's, I measured the width and length to find out the measurements, which were: 210mmx210mm.
Step 2: Add in Photograph
Then, I added in the chosen photograph from my Dropbox.
Step 3: Resize photograph to correct size
After that, I resized the image to make sure there weren't any white parts showing of the background. I then placed it.
Step 4: Change to a Black and White Photo

Final Design
