Assignment 2: Presentation

Hello.

So here it is, the final assignment of this semester. Enjoy.

Assignment 2: Screen Shot

Some of the screen shot and their description.

Images are gathered and merged. I am trying to give a look which they are coming out from the monitor.

By using Transform > Warp, i managed to shrink the images, which look like a genie effect. After that i duplicate them to make them look like in a large portion.

By using technique from tutorial 4, group with previous layer,i managed to make a gradient like text effect. At first i want to make them look like a chrome effect but that will make the poster looks heavy and redundant.

Duplicate the text layer to make the shadow effect. I am using Gaussian blur plus some minor tweaking on Motion blur as well.

I also duplicate the iMac layer, then use again the gaussian blur to make a reflection. Here i skew the iMac with Edit>Transform>Skew.

For the footer image, i set the blending mode to multiply, which will eliminate the white background of the imported image, makes them fit perfectly with the poster and background color.

Tutorial 6 : Chrome Effect

I have to simplify this post, due to some unforeseen reason. These are some steps taken to achieve the look.

• Path selected
• Fill color of shape (new layer)

Work in channel:

• Create new channel for RGB
• Edit>stroke
• Blur>gaussian
• Duplicate the channel
• Move the layer> NUDGE
• Image calculation> combine 2 alpha channel
• Leads to a new alpha channel
• Play with Curve (Command+M)

Final image:

Tutorial 6 : Texture

There are few methods and skills that i have learn from this tutorial. I will be dividing the post of this tutorial to 2. This is the first one.

Marble Effect/Other texture

We create a new layer

• Filter > Render > Clouds
• Again Render but with Different Clouds to make more contrast > play around with Levels to get more contrast

To add color, create new fill or adjustment layer.

Then we came into lighting effect.

• New layer, fill with white.
• Create alpha channel
• Filter>Render>clouds
• Adjust Levels for more contrast
• Comeback to RGB, fill color
• Filter>Lighting Effect
• Texture channel (ambience)

Adding detail:

• create new layer, fill color
• go back to alpha 1 > add noise
• go back to RGB>filter>render>lighting effect
• New layer, fill color
• channel, alpha 1
• render>fibers
• render>lighting effect

Adjust the fiber value, we get a wood/bark texture.

• 
  



• new layer, fill color, marque
• alpha 2, gaussian blur
• filter again>distort>glass
• lighting effect

Project Objective

Learning process of implementing the multiple tools using Photoshop Software in creating the digital wallpaper regarding ‘MMU FOE Open Day’. In this wallpaper, I will be promoting the Engineering Faculty to the freshies and to the outsider.This wallpaper will provide them some knowledge towards the benefits of joining FOE in the future.

_________________________________________________________________

Approach

I’m creating digital wallpaper based on the pictures that I have taken via websites. Then, I’ll alter them by using the Adobe Photoshop CS2. The wallpaper will be in A4 size.

Main techniques that will be used will be layers,gaussian blur,layer mask and the layer options such as transparency and the hus,saturation option.

Roles and Responsibilities

1st Phase: Idea is sketched and images are snap and searching through website
2nd Phase: Images are edited and place inside the wallpaper. Text will be included
3rd Phase: Consult with Mdm Lydia
4th Phase: Final touches are made
5th Phase: Submission of Assignment 2

Comment

This assignment 2 will challenge in terms of promoting my own faculty in a creative way.
I need to search more ideas in creating it but i will try my best to utilize most of the tools in photoshop.

Tutorial 5

Here is my tutorial 5 :

I did not have the chance to update the procedure of making this. But i will update later. 

Thanks.

Tutorial 4

Here is the recap for what i have done on this tutorial. It is just the instructions that i have followed from the given videos.

Two achieve the aqua look and shine, i used :

1-Gradient overlay : Choose color and change the angle to -90degrees

2-Inner shadow : angle 90degrees and play around the opacity

3-Drop shadow : play around with the opacity, distance 10px, size 10px

4-Outer glow : multiply blend mode, black color

5-Bevel and emboss : altitude 75degrees, opacity 15. And under that choose contour : anti-aliased ticked and range 80%

Save the style ; and apply them to ink splat 1 & 2.

For the texture look on the ink splat, turn off the link with layers and snap texture. This will align perfectly with the background.

For the layer effects:

-apply style aqua texture

-add layer mask

-fill layer mask with black

-blend option : blend interior effects as group

-reduce opacity.

The result.
