Jiun: MMB2014 Tutorial #2

Hi there,

Today i am going to perform what i had learnt from week4 tutorial number 2. First of all, we were require to watch 9 video clips and practice to edit three different pictures. After that, we require to choose one out of three pictures to edit it according to the skills that we learnt in class. And this is the picture that i chose.

First of all, I am going to change the characters to greyscale. I create a new layer at first, then follow by performing the hue and saturation technique to change the background colour. I not yet decide what colour to use at the moment, thus i just roughly pick a colour in order to let it look nicer. =p

After that, i am going to colour the characters inside the picture as well as the sand. I plan to colour all the boys shirts and pants into different colour so that it look great.

Talang~~(After a few minutes work)

Oh ya! i am now decided on the colour for the background after coloured the characters. I choose blue so that i look calm and peace (for me =p). By double click on the hue and saturation layer, then only i can change the colour by scrolling the hue section.

After this what else should i do? After "lepak-ing" on the net, i realized that few years ago there is a local artist name "MAWI" said this sentence before in order to stimulate and encourage youngster not to try drugs. The sentence that he said was "Belia Benci DADAH" or in English is "Teenagers HATE drugs".

Then i decided to put it into my picture since my picture is more alike the situation in which all the boys rather playing with kite than taking drugs. I select the tool "Horizontal Type Tool" which it shown a capital T on our left hand side. Follow by changing of the colour of the font. At the time being, i plan to do it as a draft and i choose red as the colour for my font.

In order to make it look greater than normal, i use the "Create warped text" tool on the top there, then i choose the fish style for the sentence in order for my sentence to have the special effect. The DADAH at the end there will look like smaller because i want to emphasis on the bad image of the DADAH and the teenagers aware of it and neglecting it as well. After that, i choose "Tahoma" as the text font.

Then, i create another new layer. The reason i created this new layer is to show the effect of sunlight because there is a shadow under the pink colour lap which shown on the sand area. I use the paint brush and foreground colour to white, the pixel for the brush is 100, i click on the same spot for continuously three times so that it turns into larger and brighter. it turns to be like this:
