My E-Wallpaper Studio!

So, How on earth that i made that thing!! (...still in shock mode...sorry)

Background....


- Firstly, we get a blank new space with the size of A4

- for the background, I've decided to place faces of MMU students...this is because i believe that the students create a whole identity and culture of MMU in general.

-So, i duplicate my selected images and arranged them horizontally across the blank space.

- I choose, a mixture of multiracial faces as MMU consists of international students as well!!!

-The result is as below....(ta-daa...)



- Then i Flatten my images to turn them into one background!
- Next, i decided to have a shade of color blue for my background
- The reason blue is because...its our MMU official color and blue creates a cool and peace ambiance...(well to me..)
- so, i create another blank layer and fill the layer with color dark blue...
- The results...



- Then, I came to the part where the texts areas
- I place our MMU LOGO at the top most of the wallpaper
-I also managed to come out with a great motto for the theme...


(MMU)..."WHERE FUTURE CORPORATE LEADERS ARE DEVELOP"..
(what do you guys think?...over the top much?...me think so too! )

-Then,Placed the important message of the wallpaper (color= electric blue)

" ...MMU OPEN DAY, 21ST MARCH 2009..."



Calling Mother Earth....!!!!

- Now...where the magic really starts...hehehe
- I came across of our earth image on the net...
-I cropped and placed her at the end most, left corner of my wallpaper!
- Then, in order to make our mother look more alive and powerful, I decided to make her GLOW...or white ray appear from behind gloriously....(mind my movie head)
-So, marqueed the earth slightly bigger
- created another new layer and fill it with white paint.
-Placed the white layer under the earth image layer!...(still can't believe i thought of that)
- Then I enhance the glow effect with Gaussian Blur...Yeay!!!
- I Insert a render effect as well...to make the earth shine and sparkle!!!
-ok....drum roll please.....





The Future Corporate Leaders....

- Decided to put some familiar faces as well....hehehe...one of them is me(strong reason was because my image is bigger file size)
-Cropped my image and place them behind the glowy earth....
- Result...
.



-I also add another two yuppies in the wallpaper from the poster shown below...







-Firstly, i used magic wand to select image that i want (the main guy in the center and the Chinese girl on his right side.)
- Then I apply the eraser tool to refine the image edges.



- Finally, i edited some other important notes on the right side of the wallpaper.
- I placed all the FOM Courses
- I also placed a huge FOM text at the center of the earth....to make it more fom-ish
- my work is finally done....
-Do give comments....tq
