Assignment 1 : Postcard

Steps of progress for Assignment 1

First step, I use the magic wand tool to select the "Visit Malaysia" logo and remove it away from the white background.

Second step, This is one of three pictures I use the elliptical marquee tools to select the area of the picture I want and make it look more round shape. I did the same thing to Mulu cave and Petronas twin towers picture.


The background I leave it white in color and the first picture or the first layer, I add a shadow effect onto in.

Next, after I use marquee tools to select an area I wanted,so I put those picture to the left side of the picture.All three picture are applied using gausian blur filter and decrease the opacity around 70% so that It doesn't look much copy and paste.


Fourthly, I add hue and saturation on the beach picture and playing around the lightness effect to it so the picture look more real and slightly different from the original picture

Lastly, I add the outer glow shadow layer style on the "Malaysian truly asia" logo picture to make it look cool.

Final work.It looks too simple but I think its ok though.

Idea for the postcard

I refer from few picture on the internet to give me some ideas on creating this postcard. Then, I use all the pictures that I’ve picked and combine all together to create a good piece of works. I also take the “Visit Malaysia” logo to make it look more perfect. In this case to me, I don’t need any other software to help me to get it done for example I just use magic wand to select the logo of “Visit Malaysia” which is actually can use Adobe Illustrator to trace the whole thing.

Roles and Responsibilities:
Describe your time plan here. For example, you should at least show me 80% of your incomplete work on Tuesday 25/11/08 for me to comment. Fulfill Dr. Ken’s requirement. His requirements are as follows:
“Students are to submit the original PSD files (DO NOT FLATTEN THE FILE) together with the images used in the postcard. Call the file StudID_asssignment1.psd”.
“Place the files in separate folders. One folder containing the PSD file called Postcard. The other images used are to be placed in a folder call Postcard_ref”.
Print the postcard. Postcard size is 6x8 inches with 300 resolutions.

Comment: The difficulties that I still faces that I still got problem cut the image of someone (human figure) in a picture. Well what I like
most is doing some image effect like change the color , hue and
saturation and also the blur effect.
