Project Objective: Students are to create a multi-cultural event for a post card. The theme would be “Malaysia, Truly Asia” which is the official slogan for Malaysia Tourism. Students are to show the multicultural aspects of Malaysia culture or life as a positive feature to attract tourist into this country.

Approach:I use Adobe Photoshop CS2 to create the postcard.All of the image that i use are from google and flickr.The idea to make this postcard is from my visit to Melaka.I was amazed by the old building,culture and the history of melaka .I use a variety of tools such as Elliptical Marquee Tool, Magic Wand,MoveTool,Gradient,Text Tool,Blur Effect and Custom Shape Tool.

Roles and Responsibilities:
I really worry about my concept for this postcard and the quality of the image for this assignment. There are some difficulties when I have to use some tools that I’ve never use.Here are steps for my postcard and the final output.

Steps :

1) I use gradient for the background and then I add shape using custom shape tools

2) Then I edit a little bit on the Afamosa image reduce the opacity and use feather to get the soft oval shape

3) Use the same technique,feather and place it on a rectangle box that have been made using rectangle tools.

4) Use text tool to add “Malaysia Truly Asia” and I use font-Pristine.

5) Last I add logo for Visit Malaysia.The logo I edit it with magic wand.

Step that i use for this tutorial :

1)Drag down the starfish from the archive and duplicate it. Adjust the size using free transform to make the depth of field more obvious

2)Apply Gaussian blur to show great depth of field and put radial blur to show that the starfish is falling down from the sky.Then,using the free transform tool, distort the tv accordingly to the wall.Apply shadow and play around with opacity.


3)Lastly,use the marquee tool to make the shape of the shadow and fill it in with black color. Apply mask layer to let the black color appear on the plasma tv and soften the edges.This will make the shadow drop from the tall building to the plasma tv.


Done...my first tutorial :)
