MMU FOM Open Day 2010

That's the theme for e-wallpaper of Assignment 1.
The final artwork can be seen as below.
Further explanation will  be put up later on.




p/s: haha.. i've stated the wrong year of open day for the e-wallpaper. luckily realize it. re-upload it again at assignment link. :D


The grading for this assignment based on:
> the idea & message of the wallpaper
> the use of tools in making the wallpaper
> the quality of the digital image
> the creative / imaginative / design of the wallpaper



[Hope that i can score this assignment :D]


The Way I Did My E-Wallpaper

The Editing of Shape n Pic Part :

1- 1st of all, I Googled for all the pics that i wanted to use, in the internet n started to imagine of the wallpaper design.
2- For background, I like to use clouded sky pic because when we look up at the sky sometimes we did think of many things including our future. Then using the Brightness / Contrast in New Adjustment Layer to make the background look a little bit dark so it not too bright.
3- I put a MMU logo n a TM University logo n simply re-size it using Move Tool (V). It a must to me to put since it's a MMU's Open Day.
4- Before put the Ebee, the MMU mascot on the wallpaper, I used the Quick Selection Tool (W) to selected only the Ebee body instead the whole pic. I've try using the Quick Mask Mode (Q) but I like using the Quick Selection Tool more :D
5- I edited the both pic on the right n left 1st before put it on the wallpaper. Using the Polygon Tool (U), i make 6 sided polygon with the size that I wanted, trace it back using the Polygonal Lasso Tool (L), copy pasted it on the wallpaper n after that re-size it. I copy the mid pic n put it on the wallpaper n re-size it since I think it's just ok that way.
6- I make a Layer Copy of all the 3 pic, changed the Opacity  to 45% n arranged it on the back of the original pic so it would look nicer.
7- To make a "Cloud Talk" shape, simply click the Custom Shape Tool (U), choose the wanted shape at the shape option, click n drag it to the suitable size.
8- The same thing used to make star shape on the upper left corner of the wallpaper plus I colored it using Paint Bucket Tool (G).
9- Lastly, I put on the ledger pic n re-size it the way I wanted n move it to the lower left corner wallpaper.

The Wording Part (Additional) :

1- I'm using the Algerian Font Type with blue color for the word "Faculty Of Management" with word of F,O n M is bigger than the rest n colored black to let others see it a short form of word "Faculty Of Management".
2- Bernard MT Condensed Font Type with white color was used on for the word of "Open day 2010" [accidentally type 2009 n submit it the assignment :)) ] 
3- I made up a quote of "The Day That Open Your Mind To A Better Future" to make people become more interested to attend the open day. Used the Kristen ITC Font Type with red color for the words but Faux Italic the "Better Future".
4- The word of "FOM OPEN DAY" from the Jokerman Font with red color. I'm using the Pen Tool (P) to  make lines so that the word can be wrote such way.
5- The words of "Computer-Based Learning", "Comfortable Classroom" n "Fully Functional Equipment & facilities" used the Vijaya Font Type with black in color, underlined n put under the pictures to descript it all.
6- In "Cloud Talk" shape, the words of "21 March 2010", "FOM Lecture Hall 1" n "From 9 am to 5 pm" are using the Bernard MT Condensed Font Type with blue n black color. The FOM website is using the Kristen ITC Font Type with red in color.
7- All the course offer in the FOM were written in Time New Roman Font Type with black in color on the ledger pic.

I'm using the color fonts of black, white, blue n red respect of the colors used in MMU logo. ^_^

p/s: i realize another more thing that I put the wrong sky cloud pic in the reference folder n sent it. :))

My Tuto 5 Artwork

Sunday, November 8, 2009

The tuto 5 is about Retouching the Old Portrait.
The original pic as below.


The 1st thing to be done is adjust the angle of the pic.
Im using the Move Tool (V) from the Tools Panel to adjust it.
There no big difference since I adjusted it a little :D




I desaturated it so the pic be black n white in color using the Desaturate in Layer Adjustment.


Then, I crop the pic in size that I wanted using Crop Tool (C) in Tools Panel.




Using the Clone Stamp Tool (S) in Tools Panel, all the unwanted images in the pic being covered.
The teeth was also being fix so it looks better in my eyes :D




Im not really good in art, the stamping was not so good :))
I spending a lot of time in coloring the pic back.
By making a new layer n then using Rectangle Tool (U) in Tools Panel to select the part that i wanted to put color n after that erase it using Eraser Tool (E) in Tools Panel.
Using also the Brightness/Contrast at Layer Adjustment to make pic look better.
After fixing a few things, the result of my artwork shown as below.




So, U can see the pic before n after i edited it ;)
I dont know it's ok or not to be submit..
Im still learning to be better in PS :P







My Tuto 4 Artwork

It's all about learning using the Photoshop Software. ^_^
For tuto 4, i've been told to do a Photo Retouching.
Photo Retouching is all about fixing pictures into a better one.
Picture below is the original example that need to retouch. huhu..
 


The swimmer is to shy so I need to clear him up from the picture.
Also, the word "viewimages" need to be clear because we do not want to view it.
So, below is the result after I clear it all using the Clone Stamp Tool, shortcut key is "S".



I know it's not that good compare to others when using the Clone Stamp Tool but it's ok to me :))
After that im trying playing with the Color Balance in Layer Adjustment n this is the result. :D



Lastly I add text of "Hawaii" n  "The Land Of Aloha" in the picture as below.
The word of "The Land Of Aloha" is not so good when view in small size.
Do click it n see for a better view. :)






So, let me show again the result of After n Before of my Photo Retouching ^_^
Do click it n see for a better view. :)
