Project 11: Technological Advances

As the technology advances, we were seeing bigger things such as bigger laptop screens or bigger handphone screens. 10 years ago, the standard resolution of a laptop lcd monitor is valued at 800x600, now it is being valued as high as 1920x1200. So i am going to design a poster about technological advances about higher resolution and bigger screens. To get started, i took a image of a laptop from the internet from Stock.xchng and cropped it onto the photoshop.














Next i measured the angles and placed lines on the 4 sides of the lcd screen of the laptop. But why am i going to do this? It is because i am going to crop and resize the lcd screen into bigger sizes and the job of the lines is the make sure that each lcd screens is going to be placed correctly on their positions.



























After make sure the lcd screens were being position correctly at their positions, it's time to add in the words "Technological Advances" , "Pixel Perfection" to the design and it will be done.















And this is how the final design looks like.

Project 10: Stamp design

This is a project on stamps design featuring iconic places of singapore, i am going to design 5 different designs of stamps ranging from 10 cents to 50 cents using images that i have took with my dslr. The iconic places that i will be using are esplanade, merlion park, clarke quay, marina bay sands and singapore flyer. 

So to get started, i dragged a image that i have took into the photoshop.















There inside the photoshop, i do some edits onto the image, first i invert the image then desaturated it, so that it will give me a "pencil drawing feel" towards it. 















Then i added in words like "Singapore" and "10 cents" onto the design.















It's time to make a outer layout for the design to make it look like a stamp so i created a vector mask inside the photoshop to create a outer stamp shape.















After creating the outer stamp design, i dragged my existing stamp design into the inner black layer of the outer stamp design and fitted it accordingly to create my final stamp design.















Lastly, i used the same methods for the remaining 4 stamp designs and this is how all of them looked like in the end.

Project 8: World Cup 2010 Poster

Hi all, i believe by this time, everyone will be feeling the heat from the world cup's fever. Thus, i decided to make my own version of world cup poster based on the original logo of world cup 2010 and the official world cup mascot.

*Credits to FIFA and World Cup 2010 for the pictures.

















First of all, i edited some parts off the original world cup 2010's mascot. Eg.I removed the ball and the words "south africa 2010".















Then, i add in the words "Are you ready for it".















Lastly, i included the official FIFA logo and the official World Cup football in the design.
















This is how the final design looks like.
