Approach

I’m creating digital wallpaper based on the pictures that I have taken via websites. Then, I’ll alter them by using the Adobe Photoshop CS2. The wallpaper will be in A4 size.
The wallpaper will be divided into 3 sections landscape wise.The top half will be the engineering buildings arranged and set transparent with the MMU logo visible at the top right hand corner.
In the middle part,the text will be placed together with some circuit boards abd electronic gadgets being the background.The bottom part will place more text but with images of professionalism being the background.
Main techniques that will be used will be layers,gaussian blur,layer mask and the layer options such as transparency and the hus,saturation option.
A reference image is as below:-

In Class Tutorial 3 'The Making Of'

1. First of all, all the images that are to be used are imported to the scene as below.



2.Using the technique of applying the grey colour to the image learned from tutorial 2, I grey the middle area of the background image by applying layer than changing the layer options to color.Using the paint brush, i colour the middle part.


3. Using the imported image the money note, i arranged it accordingly with the word 'SAVING'. This is done by using the alpha channel to see the word 'SAVING' behind the money notes.
All the notes are arranged to cover the word 'SAVING'.


4.Next, the layer is created and put just above the background image and it is applied the group with previous layer option to every layer to see the money note and the word saving blend together. The result is as below.



5.Finally, the final output will look as below:-
