MMU-FOE Open Day (Digital Wallpaper)

Dear My Work Station,

After a long journey with this assignment 2 (Computer Graphics 2) wallpaper....
Finally I managed to complete my task!
Thank God! :)

Here are my fully description of this digital wallpaper!

MMU-FOE Open Day

What is FOE? FOE actually stands for Faculty Of Engineering.It contains 9 courses for Undergraduate studies. Postgraduate studies are divided into 3 categories which are Master of Engineering, Doctor of Engineering and Research Degree. To make the audience to be more clearer about the courses of the Engineering, Multimedia University is launching the MMU-FOE Open Day. So, I will be the person who take incharge in promoting the faculty to the audience. The target user are for the freshies and also for the visitor who are interested in knowing this faculty. In my MMU-FOE Open Day, I make the audience know when is the date of Open Day for the Engineering Courses. The MMU-FOE Open Day will be held on 9th January 2009.I'm include the details to which they can contact if they have inquiry.I'm using the robotic as the symbolic for Engineering field. The graduated MMU FOE student will show that all FOE student have the ability to graduate with the Flying Colours. I'm using this tagline 'Switch ON the Engineering Skills!' to attract the audience and at the same time to make the images will be more significant between each other. So, by completed MMU-FOE Open Day digital wallpaper, I hope I can achieve my target through the messages.

Project Objective

Learning process of implementing the multiple tools using Photoshop Software in creating the digital wallpaper regarding ‘MMU FOE Open Day’. In this wallpaper, I will be promoting Engineering Faculty to the freshies and the outsider and give them some knowledge towards benefit of joining FOE in future


Approach

I’m creating digital wallpaper based on the pictures that I have taken via websites and some of my snapshots using the digital camera. Then, I’ll alter them by using the Adobe Photoshop CS2. The wallpaper will be in A4 size.

I will promote my faculty which is engineering faculty to be well known by inserting the FOE signboard to clarify the FOE main theme. Then, some images like FOE building, FOE students and some related sign for engineering stuff to be included there.

In Photoshop, I’m using the layering techniques to rearrange and do some edit part to the images. Then, I’m using the filter tools also such as Gaussian Blur, Drop Shadow and the adjustment of the colours (Hue, Saturation, and Contrast). Thus, applying the layer mask, crop, lasso tool, shape tool, and etc will make the effect of the wallpaper to be nicer. The inserting of text, I’ll make it look some impacts to the audience when they read it.

The idea of my digital wallpaper is that I'm using symbolic of Engineering stuff which is robotic.This is because when the audience see the robotic, straight away they will understand the main theme is Engineering field.Then, I will put also some images related to the successful Engineering students in it (MMU Engineering graduated student).Then, I'll put the list of the courses offered by the faculty in this wallpaper to make the better understanding.Thus, by including the date and also the contact number, this wallpaper will be very useful and efficient.Tagline will be included also to attract people to read it.

Comment

This assignment 2 give me challenging for creating the creativity in terms of promoting my own faculty. I need to search more ideas in creating it. But I try to make it fun since Photoshop really make me to explore more in order to appreciate more the usefulness of using this software

-My Final Postcard-

What is Malaysia, Truly Asia? This is the best theme which promote Malaysia to entire world.This shows that Malaysian people completes the concept of peace and tranquility Same goes to my own finale completion for the postcard. In my postcard, I choose multicultural people in Malaysia. Thus, I'm using the hibiscus because its a symbolic flower and also our national flower. Moreover, I'm inserting the Malaysian flag to give clear view to the tourist about the Malaysian country.I'm choosing red as the main colour since red is one of Malaysian colour. So, I combined all the elements above and well organize plus the edition in order to make the postcard looks simple and the message itself, easy for them to capture the main concept that I've done.

Project Objective: Learning process in implementing the multiple tools in Photoshop Software in creating the poscard regarding 'Malaysia, Truly Asia' theme.
In this poscard I will be promoting the cultures and festivals of different races that is available in Malaysia.

Approach: I'm creating a postcard based on the pictures that have been taken via websites and alter them by using Adobe Photoshop CS2.
Most of the images taken are .jpeg and .bmp. In Adobe, layering are mostly used since the images have to be placed and arranged on top
of each other. Besides that, filtering such as Gaussian or Radial blur.For the text, I will be using my own fonts. Masking will also be used in this assignment. As for the color, Hue, Saturation and Contrast is used depending on my likings.

The idea for this postcard is where there are three different generation of Malaysian people (Children, Teenagers and Elders). Each generation has different race and religion (Malay, Chinese, India). At the side of the postcard there are images of Malaysian's best; various delicious foods.(Satay, Roti Canai, etc.). There are images that represents each culture, for example (Batik for Malay, Firecrackers for Chinese, and Lamps for India). At the top, the tagline "Malaysia, Truly Asia".

Comment: I love learning Photoshop since it challeged my creativity. The problems that may occur while doing this postcard such as how to edit the images, and
making it blend with each other.
