Assignment 1 (e-wallpaper)

This is the steps that I've done for my assignment 1 (e-wallpaper)

1. First step in making this e wallpaper is to set up the background first. For the background I used a crumple brown paper.

2. Then set the paper to fit the canvas by rotate the brown paper vertivally using the rotate tool.

3. Next, i lower down the opacity of the paper just to blend the paper nicely so it does not show the depth or the sharpness of the background itself.

4. After that. i took MMU logo. I removed the unwated background of the logo so that it will look nicer to place them in the e wallpaper.

5. I changed the colour and contrast for the logo so it will look a little bit more fit in with the colour concept that i want to use for the e wallpaper.I also adjusted the hue/saturation and the lightness.

6. Next I create a long box along the A4 size canvas filled with brown colour. Rotate the box with the free transformation tool (control+t). Rearranged it to balance with the logo.

7. I add on a Gradient Layer to give an impact look at the edge of the wallpaper.

8. Then i add a text or the title of this e wallpaper and that is the MMU FOM OPEN DAY.

9. After that, i take a MMU campus picture. Crop them using the lasso tool because i only want the STAD building to represent MMU. It is because the STAD building is the first building that you will find once you enter the MMU entrance.

10.Next, I change the Hue/saturation to make the picture look nicer. Then i add the cut out effect (Filter > Artistic> Cutout)

11.Then I drag the STAD building picture into the wallpaper.

12.After that i take the FOM building picture and i repeat the same process goes with the STAD building.

13.Then i add in E-bee. I removed the background of the picture by using the magic eraser tool and it does make magic. woot woot!

14.Dragged the picture into the e wallpaper. Arrangeg it nicely to fit the in the e wallpaper. I edit the layer style ( belnding style>layer style>blending options) by adding the drop shadow just to give some shadow effect with the change of its distance, spread and size.

15.Next, i add the post it paper to resemble FOM faculty of Management. Placed it at the rigth of the wallpaper and arranged the e-bee on top of the post it so it will look as if the e-bee is standing on top of the post it paper. Add the same process as the above to give the drop shadow effect.

16.I put in text on the post it paper and that is the venue and the date of the MMU FOM OPEN DAY. I placed it on the post it paper because i want to highlight the information so

the reader will notify immediately as the contrast of the colour of the post it paper and the concept colour of the wallpaper itself.

17.Created a few moore boxes to highlight or differentiate the informations that i want to put in the wallpaper.

18.Add in the text that provides the information of FOM. Added the drop shadow effect to the wordings also.

19.At the box, i add vector mask to give a stain effect at the box. I used brush tool to give the stained brush look.

20.Lastly, i added an adjustment layer. Changed the vibrance, hue/saturation and contrast just to enhance the colour of the wallpaper.
