...S02 assignment2: digital wallpaper...

...in this assgmnt we are needed to make a digital wallpaper promoting our on faculty during faculty's open day...before that, make sure u set up the rulers and guides...for this blog i purposely hide the guides so that u can see the process clearly...

...first set up a black colored BG of an a4 size clipboard (i prefer calling it canvas)...duplicate the BG layer and use layer styles > gradient overlay...set up the gradient depending on our likings and adjust it...

...next create 2 boxes using the rectangle tool and set the colors...nxt create 3 thin lines and adjust them evenly...

...open the ASIMO image taken from the website, create path using pentool to isolate the ASIMO from the BG...then drag it to the main canvas...transform the image by flipping it...

...duplicate a layer frm the ASIMO...i use gaussian blur to give so it would blend nicely when i overlap it with the main ASIMO...

...when its done, link all the ASIMO layers and hit ctrl+L to bring out the level menu...adjust it with the slider on the menu to darken the image...

...nxt is the chest logo...i drag the image of MMU logo which i got frm the net...using free transform, i resize and reshape the image to fit its chest...then using layer style i use bevel and emboss and set it so that the chest logo looks as if its real...

...now for the futuristic part...using a image as a template, i made an 'element' using adobe illustrator and export it to photoshop...then the element is dragged on to the canvas and i use layer style > outer glow and inner glow effect...and set it accordingly...

...for the PCB (printed circuit board)...i did the same thing which is drawing it using illustrator and export it to photoshop...then i color the PCB and dragged them to the canvas using magic wand...for this elements, i also used inner and outer glow and set the opacity so it looks transparent...

...whn the elements are in place, nxt is making the fonts...im using basic bold arial with certain settings by using paragraph...

...for the "FACULTY OF ENGINEERING" and the email add below, i added some outer glow...

...lastly for the arrow icon, i created it and drag it to the canvas...nxt i use free transform to resize it and arrange it nxt to the email add...then i added outer glow to it...

...after a lot of trials and errors i finally manage to complete it...even though its only 11 steps..but actually its quite challenging for me...guess i still need to learn more...so, after few adjustments and touch-ups its done...comments are alwys welcome here...tqs...
