Trim some of the woman’s edges off (If you are a newbie, download the tutorial click this link)
Apply this same technique in converting the woman to a vector to the other images (the lion, landmark and the Africa silhouette)
Drag the Africa silhouette vector close to the woman and place it under the vector woman by pressing
Ctrl + pg dn till it goes beneath it
Drag the lion and the land closer then delete some part off by clicking Ctrl + Click then Del
All you need to do here is display some creativity
This should be your result

Drag it closer and place over all objects by pressing Shift + pg up
