my own camera to capture good quality picture of FOM
building. The size of this digital wallpaper is A4 size and

Comments


Well, I get a little bit hard for me to catch up the knowledge of Photoshop properly by not using the video tutorial to do so because every time I try to apply those layer masking didn’t work that well for me but Assignment 2 is really interesting assignment for me because this Assignment 2 makes my mind thinking out of the box to create cool stuff.

Tutorial 4


Final works


Progress works...
First, I change the color of the fonts to make it look like water and adjust the shadow.

I go to layer style and click inner shadow onto it to play around the shadow so it looks more real.

Then,I created another copy of Green on the channels and adjust the layer so that I can get better looks.

I'm back to the layer style and apply beveal and embose on ink splat layers,playing around with the depth and also unclick the "Link with layer" .


After apply drop shadow, inner shadow , outer glow , beveal and emboss and gradient overlay, on the shape layer, I put white as a foreground and this is how it looks like.

Lastly, I apply the brush tools brush some of the area that I want randomly to make it more balance and before use the brush tools I need to click on the style type on the right side of the options.

Oh yeah, I had to go back to the layer style, and on the blending options:customs, I adjust the opacity above it to make the water effect combine with the rock so that it look more real.

Tutorial 3

Final work.

STEPS

First I created a new layer on the channel.Then, I use the Line tool to create a straight line on the fonts.

I use mezzotint from the pixelate to make the line looks more real.


Add a little of gaussian blur on it as well.


I go back to layer and create new layer , add vector mask and I press ctrl + shift + backspace to do the invert on the font that I did earlier in the channel tab. This is exactly what I learned from the video tutorial and it is really helpfull and fun.


Then I go to edit menu and choose stroke to change the fonts style to make it look more clean than before and the width I put 10 px .


After I done with the stroke, I press B to go for brush tool and go to the filter menu and head to brush stroke and choose spatter.I just play around with the spray radius and the smoothness to get the best look of it.

Lastly,I go to the layer that I created not to long ago and double click on it will appear the layer style.On the blending option, I change the setting on the underlying layer so that it will look real.
