Assignment 1 (Typography poster)

Okay,for the assignment 1,
The first step is I colored the background using brush (light brown) and i highlighten the center with brighter colour(lighter color brown)

Then, i use the image of festivals symbols, and the symbols represent the 3 major races in Malaysia. Mandarin oranges represent chinese (chinese new year), the lamp represents the indian (deepavali) and ketupat represents the malays (Hari raya).

Be aware that i didn't directly used the image straight away and pasted in the photoshop. To be precise, i traced the images using adobe illustrator and i changed it to some kind of picture for the poster background.

This is how it look like after i trace the pictures in illustrator.

and this is how it look like after i pasted in on my poster in photoshop.
I reduced the background opacity (the festival background) to 26%.

Then i make another images using illustrator that is the picture i called Stick man XD

and i pasted it at the bottom right corner of the  poster

then since this is the typography poster, i put some text concerning 1 MALAYSIA concept (which is in Bahasa Melayu)  and i put drop shadow effects on every text there.

 after that, i traced the malaysian flag using the adobe illustrator again, i use the live trace (easy) but i change the setting so it will trace the malaysian flag with a 16-coloured setting. (i choose the setting so that the color won't change much).
After tracing it, i put the Malaysian flag beside the Big number 1.This is one of the typography skills which is the word+image typo skills.

and with this, I've done my typography poster. Yes,it is very simple i know. But at least i guess , i had improvement in using my adobe photoshop skills now than before.
