Asssignment 2 : Step By Step

First step, i created a background using gradient. Then to get the lighting effect, i used render > lighting effects.

Next, to get a texture effect, i used a crumpled graph paper image and reduce the opacity to get the colour effect on the paper.

I arranged the objects accordingly. Before that, i changed the colour of the objects by using blending > colour on each of the objects.

Next i drew the rainbow using lasso tool. By applying gaussian blur on the rainbow i get the natural lighting effect.

I add fonts and adjust the size and position them accordingly.

On the open day font, i used stroke effect to get the outline.

On the Faculty Of Engineering font, i used drop shadow and adjust the setting to get the natural shadow effect.

here is the final output :

Tutorial 6 : Step By Step

I followed the steps in the video.


For the first background, i used render > clouds . play with the colour and levels.

For the second background, i used render > fibers. For the lighting effect, i play around with render > lighting effects.

For the last background, i repeated the same steps as the second background. I changed the colour and drew stripes using lasso tool.


The next step is to create chrome effect on the font. By using several steps such as stroke, calculations, gaussian blur, to get the outline of the font.

To create the chrome effect inside the outline, i used the 20 dollar bill image.

By applying gaussian blur and adjusting curve i get the chrome effect. Then i add layer mask to the font.

Next, to create realistic shadow, i made another layer of the font, fill it with black, and apply gaussian blur. as u can see on the bottom left of the font, the shadow has soft edge. I used motion blur to get this effect.


Finally, i play with the colours and try using different backgrounds to get a suitable 70's like wallpaper.

Tutorial 5 : Step by Step

Basically in this tutorial, we want to create an effect of flames and smokes by using a few techniques.

1) Creating Flame brush

I created the flame brush by using lasso tool. Then applying some Gaussian Blur around 1.3 pixels to create the blurry effect on the flame. Then, I paint the Flame by using the paint brush.

2) Flame texture

Before creating the texture, I arranged the flame brush on the hand. Then to create the flame texture, I used render>clouds to create the flame effect.

This is how the flames looks like after applying the texture to the flames.

3) Creating realistic flames look

To create realistic look on the flames, I use the liquify technique on the edge of the flames.

4) Flames on the other hand

The flames on the other hand is created by copying the existing flames then flip the flames horizontally.

5) Smoke on the head

To create the smoke on the head, i use the lasso tool to draw the smoke shape. Then, i apply gaussian blur to create the blurry look. Next, I apply the render>clouds to make the smokes texture. Lastly, I change the layer blending mode to multiply mode to take only the black smoke.

Tutorial 4 : Step By Step

I followed the tutorial given in the video.

IT focuses on gradient and shadows.

The layer style that has been used are :

1) Gradient overlay

notice the word ink. darker gradient on top and lighter gradient below. however, if you want to change it the other way around, it can be adjusted by changing the angle to 90.

2) Inner shadow

applying just a small line of shadow

3) Drop shadow

set the opacity of the shadow to around 59-61.

4) Outer glow

glowing effects to the word ink.

5) Bevell and emboss

The style for the word ink been saved.

applied the style to both of the splat. by clicking gradient overlay, you can change the colour of the splat but the style remains the same.

Those are some of the layer style that can be used.

Next, a layer been added to channels this is to create a background effect of the style.

The background can be erased by using the paintbrush tool.

Here is the last output.

Assignment 2 : Project Charter

Title : Digital Wallpaper

Project Start Date : 20 March 2009

Project End Date : 20 April 2009

Project Manager : Syarifah Syaza Liyana

Email : syaza.liyana@gmail.com

Website : syazaliyana.blogspot.com

Project Objective

I have been assigned to create a digital wallpaper. The theme is Faculty Of Engineering Open Day. The wallpaper will show the features, facilities and characteristics to attract visitors to learn more about the faculty and also university.

Approach

I will use some photos from the internet and some that has been given. The photos will be divided into four sections and it will be located on the left side of the wallpaper. Information of the open day will be on the right side. I will also use some effects to make it more interesting and use the techniques that has been learned in tutorials. I will also try some new techniques.

Roles And Responsibilities

1st Phase : Look out for references

2nd Phase : Sketch the idea. Images are edited and placed.

3rd Phase : Consult Mdm Lydia

4th Phase : Final touches are made

5th Phase : Submission

Comment

I will do my best in creating a creative digital wallpaper. I need to research more about the layout and try my best to finish this project as soon as possible.

Tutorial 3 : Step By Step

Exercise 1

First open the image.

Select the title at the path, then make a new layer of the title. 

Draw lines then apply pixelate effect with gaussian blur.

Apply spatter effect to the title to make it more natural.

Next, use blending mode on the layers.

This is the final image

Exercise 2

Open both the images

Drag the money image and arrange it accordingly to the word saving.

Make a new layer of the saving filled with black background. Then put the layer above the background layer.

By applying group layer to all the layers, we get this final image.

Assignment 1 : Step By Step

First, i added all the images. Most of the iamges i found in Google.

After resizing the images using free transform, i added border to the flowers using stroke. The rest of the images i used drop shadow.

Selection using pen tool, I applied greyscale to KL Tower by using Hue/Saturation.

Resized the flag using free transform.As for KLCC, I applied this technique :Select -> Colour range this is to remove the black background colour from the original image in order to get the building only.

I used image rotation -> Flip canvas Horizontally for the hornbill. I changed the colour of the font by using Hue/Saturation and drop shadow.

As for the background i also used Hue/Saturation and stroke for the border.

Most of the techniques that has been used was learned from the tutorial videos.

Tutorial 2 : Step By Step

Choose image #3.

by using paintbrush, i changed the background color to greyscale.

then by using pentool for the path, i adjust the hue/saturation to colourize the jeans.

the same technique goes to the bag and also the car boot

i added bumper sticker. resized the image by using free transform and used gaussian blur.

the final output
