And then, I was apply the color/balance, brightness/contract and hue/saturation on my moon.
Third step, i was doing a borders by using effects - pattern overlay.
Next step, i was adding the "King's chair on it. I was cut out the chair by using the selection tool and choose grow/similar. And then, I was apply some gradient and effect - drop shadow on it.
And I create a light behind the chair which is using the lasso tool drawing the light shape, and then filter - render - clouds to apply the color. Before that you have to select the color properly (foreground and background). With the Gaussian blur effect, the light looks more true.

I’ve use some images to represent the faculty of management. For example a group of management people. And the people who welcoming, are invited to sit on our “chair” which’s means join MMU. In this wallpaper, I will show out the ability of a FOM student which is field in coloring, ideation and imagination. Which’s mean, FOM student also can have the talent in area of coloring, ideation and imagination.

In the additional, I join up the management and a management building together. And I was using a night time with a big moon as my background. It is because I want to make my wallpaper come out some mystery feel. It’s because the mystery, and all the visitor will be attract to our FOM open day.

The tool that I using during I modify my wallpaper is tool of brightness/contract, Gaussian Blur, stroke, color, hue/saturation, text (font and etc), blending skill which is feather and gradient and others function tool. Besides that, I had used the selection tool to select certain images. For some application, I had created a “light” behind my “executives” which assist by Render tool.

Roles and Responsibilities:

I will start my work on 05 of December for my research images. And the continuous day I will start to modify my post card in Photoshop CS3. 09 December is my proposal of my assignment 2, and I show out my first stage of my assignment to my tutor.
