Assignment 1 CG2 : Final Step : Work it

Here we go my first assignment that is a multi-cultural postcard.(i think so) I use everything i know about Photoshop. I assume i used. Some of the basic skills are like,layering,filter,marquee tool,type tool,drop shadow and so on.So,here,i show some screen shot of my in-the-making Malaysia Truly Asia Postcard.

Step 1:

I use marquee tool and select inverse selection to make a border around
the basic plain layer. Then,i use paint bucket to fill in the color that i chose.

Step 2:

I use eraser to erase the foreground of the hibiscus layer and
drag it to the basic plain white layer of my 8" x 6" postcard.

Step 3:

I took the picture of Jalur Gemilang and use the horizontal
type mask tool to cut a words to be use in the postcard layer.

Step 4:

In this step,i use the same step that i use in the 2nd step. I erase
the foreground of the maps layer and drag it to the postcard layer.

Step 5:

Then,i took all the pictures that i will put in my postcard and change the
size and dimension of the layer so all layer/pictures will be in the same size.

Step 6:

Then,i use layer>>layer style>>drop shadow and put a shadow
behind each pictures that i already drag to the posrcard layer.

Step 7:

Next,i use horizontal type tool to place a name under each picture.

Step 8:

Here i add the layer of the girls wearing traditional malaysian costume
and i use horizontal type tool to write the 'truly asia' word under
the Malaysia word that i get from using horizontal type mask tool.
I also drag the logo of Visit Malaysia and look-like flag of Malaysia.

Step 9:

I use luminosity to change the look of the map and make it better.

Step 10:

I use the font name Barcoding and make a barcode
and add a price to make it look like a real postcard.

And...,Tadaa!!!

So,here is my multi-cultural Malaysia Truly Asia Postcard.Hope you all will like it
and vote for me. =) Please comment on my work. Thank you all. Peace and love.

In-Class Exercise 2 - Kids are very naughty.

Yatta! (which mean,'yes' in Japan) I have done my second in class exercise.hehehe.so here is the picture that i have to edit and made some changes.

change to this

Tadaa!!!

The step in-the-making process:

First step,i took the picture from the tutorial given and change it to
grayscale mode as shown in the tutorial video. Then,i duplicated
the other same picture and combine it in one layer.

Second step, i click on the colour (not the grayscale picture) layer and use the
Select>>Color Range on the toolbar above to set the new color for the slider.

Third step, i use the Eraser tool or (E) for short keys to erase the grayscale layer on the
area of the kid's face,hand and leg to get the original color of the kid's skin.

After that, i make a new layer and change the color of the monster on
the kid's shirt.I changed it from blue to red color because i love
reds.Then, i change the kid's t-shirt's color to baby blue. Both tasks i
make a new layer and use the brush tool to change the color.

There you go.My second in-class tutorial exercise is finish.=))

I get the brilliant idea from one of my best friend. I will take the scenery pictures from all over Malaysia then combine it together in the postcard to make it a 14-in-One postcard.A postcard that contains all 14 different view from across the country.Plus with some edit and mixtures with some persuasive words to express the beauty in Malaysia.

First and foremost.. [Tutorial 1]

Yeah.i have done my first in class exercise.Tutorial 1 teach me how to use a few simple basic tools in Photoshop such as selection tool,transform tool,simple efx using filter and drop shadow on the layer. I applied all those tools in this first tutorial.

Three pictures given to be use in this tutorial:



Next,few step that i used in Photoshop to edit those pictures.

Step up:

I use Levels to make the basic picture looks better.

I use Color Balance to change the colour of the starfish. I make three colours for the starfish which is Green,Yellow and Red to make it look merrier.=D

Next,i drag all the coloured starfishs into the skiescraper layer.Then i use the Curves and adjust the brightness of the picture.


After that, i use Filter>> Sketch>> Halftone Pattern to put an effect in the lcd Tv screen.

Tadaa,this is the outcome from the filter>halftone pattern.

Below: Then,i applied Free Transform to transform the Lcd Tv and put it on the building's wall so it will look like it is patched to the wall.Then, i use the Drop Shadow effect to make a shadow behind the Lcd Tv.

The image above,i use Invert to invert the Lcd Tv to make it more beautiful.

Below is the result for the finish invertion.

Above: This picture is almost the final outcome.But,then i edit some part where i used Filter>>Sketch>>Conte Crayon. Below are the result of the effect that i used.

Below: I make the tv more detail and added some picture also in it.

And at last,here we go!

Tadaa!!!

So,that is my final edit for the first tutorial for CG2.Hope to get a good comment from everybody.
