Week 9 -Mr Jeffrey

This time we were tasked with creating a logo for CMEX which btw stands for "China Malaysia Entrepreneur Exchange". With a time limit of 30 mins and these 2 images provided as inspiration,

This is my design:

Week 9 -Mr Adam

We were taught how to adjust the brightness/contrast in photoshop by pen tooling a soldier into an empty house background. And also to add some lighting effect using adjustment layer and colour balance.

This is what i did:

Week 7 -Mr Adam

In this class, we were taught how to place textures on a new bus to make it look old and abandoned.

Rusty textures:

Cracked glass:

Blood splatter:

After placing the bus and the pictures, using multiply effect for the rust, lighter colour effect for the cracked glasses, subtract for the broken mirror effect and soft light effect for the blood splatters, i mask the images respectively and use the brush tool to adjust certain areas so that the textures blend properly.
So here's my completed old abandoned bus:

After that we were given another exercise of placing a different skin texture on a hand.

Then after using darker colour effect, i used warp to adjust the texture to give it a less flat-looking surface on the hand. Placing the texture more than once to spread it evenly on the hand, i also used masking to erase off some parts of the texture to give it a natural-looking fade into the skin effect. Doesn't look very legit but hey, i tried :|

Week 6 -Mr Adam

In this lesson, we had to search for images on google: a wall and a graffiti image.

Then, after adjusting the graffiti position and angle, and using darker colour filter, i get this:

After that we were taught how to warp images using a tin can and an image of tomatoes.

By clicking edit, transform and warp, the tomato image is adjusted following the shape and flow of the can. Then using multiply effect, the tomato image blends together with the can.

Next, Mr Adam taught us how to add some rain and abit of mystical fog effect into an image. He had us use a Young Detective Dee poster to try it out.

For the rain effect, first add another layer and press <option + delete> , click filter, pixelate and mezzotint and adjust the type of dots/lines to be used for rain. Then filter, blur and motion blur to adjust the angle and distance the rain droplets have from each other. And use screen filter or any other kind that suits the image. Another layer is added for the mystical fog-thing, click filter, render and clouds. And then filter, blur, gaussian blur and adjust the radius. Next after filtering with screen, mask the layer and use brush tool to erase off unwanted fog. Setting different opacities for the brush helps in making the fog effect more realistic. This is how mine turned out:
