Assignment-2/wall paper/1041110316

Here is my Final Output


In this final step, i created another box and i connected to the box which includes the courses and i apply all effects which i have applied for previous boxes. For course actually i open a new layer and then i wrote courses and after i wrote courses i use the tool magic wand and i select the courses letters. So, that i can copy it as an object. Then i went to my original layer which is MMU open day and then paste it there. I put it in the box which is connected to the box of courses. ( i did it because it is easier to control the object no matter which side i want to put. So that i can move it as i wanted.


In this step, i took another image of MMU students and i added some effects which is drop shadow and inner glow.



Here, i took a photo of another MMU logo which i have edited and erase the white background of the logo. So, it will look more matched on the image.



In this step, i add the logo of MMU with FOM text which i have created. i combined the logo for MMU and FOM text to make it look like 1 logo all together. i use 3 filters for that. Those are sketch filter, glass filter and then lighting effects. For the lighting effects i choose for texture channel alpha-1 which i have created before. ( i create a new channel and then i used brush for MMU logo. which i created also and apply glass filter. I applied the same filters on the text FOM.



Over here, i choose the horizontal type tool and i wrote in the 1st box open day as text and 2nd box post graduate as text and 3rd box 21st Mrach,2009 and 4th box the courses of FOM.



In this step, i connect all the boxes with eachother using more boxes to make all the boxes interconnecyted. i applied the same effects and colors like step 1.



Here. i add another 2 boxes and i applied the same effects and colors, which is light brown and applied whatever i applied in the 1st step.



Over here, i add another box in to the image and i applied whatever i applied in box 1 in the 1st step.


First of all, i create a new layer and then i choose rectangular marquee tool to draw a box and fill it up with white by pressing ctrl+del. Then i went to filter and apply some effects which is render cloud and then render light effects. After that i change some settings in lighting effects which is texture channel. So, i choose alpha-1 which i have created in channel before and alpha-1 contains mmu logo which i have created and then i went back to my layer which is the 1st box and i reduce the opacity.

Exercise-6/ 1041110316


Here is my final output



In this step, i select the original layer of the object 70,s and then we open hue/saturation. After that i took the colorize and i kept on changing the colors until it was suitable with the background. After that i create a new layer and i select the original layer and then i pressed ctrl+del and filled it up with black. So, i created another layer containing the object 70,s and i resized the object to make it larger than the original object. The object that i made is only the shadow of the original object. Thats why i decrease opacity until it looked like a shadow to me and that was last thing i have done for this exercise.



Over here, i pressed ctrl+click on the layer for the 70,s and then i made sure that the layer for the us$ is high-lighted. After that i went to icon mask and i clicked on it. so that i can get expected output which is shown in this step image.



In this step, i pressed ctrl+m, so i can get the curve settings and i pressed load, so that i can get the file i have saved earlier. The reason behind doing this is to get the settings which i have applied on the object 70,s.



Here, i used filter Gaussian blur



Over here, i choosed the us bank note of 20$ and then i pressed ctrl+u to get hue/saturation and then i changed the saturation to -100.



Here, i pressed ctrl click on the channel alpha-3 and then ctrl+c. After that i went to my layer which i have created and press ctrl+v.



In this step, i changed the color of the background by pressing ctrl+i.



Over here, i moved alpha-2 5 steps right and 5 steps up. i also moved alpha-2 copy 5 steps left and 5 steps down. Then i applied some modification using image/calculation. After that, alpha-2 and alpha-2 copy they merged and made up a new channel called alpha-3. Then, ctrl+m to get the curves and i shaped the curve as m shape and i saved it.




In this step, i have made a new layer and after i selected the path, so i filled up the selection using ctrl+del and then i went back to channel and i created a new channel. I have also applied some modification using stroke. i duplicate my channel and it was named as alpha-2 copy.




Here, i have selected the path which has been already created for us.



In this step, i have applied a filter called lighting effects and then i choose a texture channel named as alpha-1, which i have created before and thats how i have created my background for the image.




Here, i created a new layer and i used the brush to color it.





I created a new channel which is alpha-1 and i filled it up with cloud by applying filter ( filter/rander/cloud) and then i used a filter called reticulation, then i applied another filter called extrude.




i opend the background image, which is white.

Here are the steps which i have followed while doing my exercise-6.
