Second Draft of Assignment 1

After the computer graphic tutorial class..when i went back home i had think a lot
and refresh what our lecturer talked to us that day..
"Now we are in university life..it is really different with secondary and primary sch..
arrange our time and think clearly what I'm going to do"
Ya..I 'm agree that our Mdm Lydia's word..
We need to think clearly when we do every decision..
think clearly what is the task of our assignment actually want...
and improve ourselves from the mistake..  =)
Since from the first draft I did..actually I'm not really
satisfied with it...so, this time I had already upgraded a lot compared to my first draft.
As you can see below...

This is my idea for the second draft of assignment 1 [final]

I did this poster by using Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop

My poster workflow A：Using Photoshop

1. First of all, I decided apply the three main races' eyes to represent 

Malaysia is a multi-cultural society.

So, I using the marquee tool to cut out the eyes. 

2. Next, I using the lasso tool simply draw the outline of my poster 

to create a design..

3. Adjust the effect by using the outer glow from the layer style, make it more emerge..

4. Open a new image, vector graphic of national flower and using 

Lasso tool again to draw out which part you want..

5. Convert the color and merge the layers into one

we had learn tis before (vector graphic blending)

6. Drag it into my poster.

7. Select darken effect..the hibiscus will become black color..

8.Then, using type tool to type the words

(all this words are related to the races' culture)

9. Then, open a image of indian girl and our Jalur Gemilang.

I'm try to blend the Jalur Gemilang onto her's face..

10. To make the flag look more like real painting on her face, 

I go to Filter > Distort > Displace

and lower the opacity

11. As you can see, change the effect from normal to multiply

and it look more real blend with the face..

and u can see the eyes are also blend with the flag

then I using the Erase tool to erase the surrounding of her eyes.

my poster workflow B: Using Adobe Illustrator

12. Now, I come to Adobe illustrator to trace out the vector graphic.

13. Using Twirt tool to make some swirl (like a design of leaves)

14. and I also trace out a Malaysia city

(do not use the internet picture it looks like very pixelated )

Come back to Adobe Photoshop

15. using type tool to type some words to delivered my message of patriotism..

16. Then, I using Gradient editor to adjust the color of  "1 MALAYSIA"

17. Last, type some words in the background to make it more interesting..

(some characteristic of Malaysia)

First Draft of Assignment 1

Patriotism

This is my ideation and concept of the Patriotism.

In this draft, I had already combined by using the adobe illustrator and photoshop.

As you can see, the tree, human, and bird all these are created by adobe illustrator software.

In the other hand, the sky, cloud, love, colors ribbon and the background design all these are using adobe photoshop.

To me, patriotism is something like cooperation among each other, 

so in my draft I using the tree to deliver my message (as you can see I use human hand to create a tree)

Next is the human icon. It mean the three main races in Malaysia,

there are Malay, Chinese & Indian..

Moreover, the colors ribbon represent the flag of Malaysia (Jalur Gemilang) 

Below is a link that I 1st time using Adobe Flash to do a short moving video..

Research On Patriotism

Since last week, our lecturer was ask us to find

some research about patriotism in order to get more 

information to do our assignment 1..

actually What is Patriotism ?

To me,, patriotism can be defined as devoted love, support, and defense 

of one's country also known as national loyalty.

Every Malaysian should has the spirit of patriotism to love our country &

willingness to sacrifice for it and train ourselves have the

virtues and actions of a patriot.

I am very proud to be a Malaysian

because in Malaysia, there is no war and freedom of religion

compare to other country~

Here are some references =)

**Malaysia Patriotism Advertisement
   Unity

http://kifah-arifin.blogspot.com/2011/07/ways-to-strengthen-national-unity-among.html

To me, this advertisement is simple but meaningful.

It represent Malaysia has a diverse community consisting of three major ethnics groups - 
Malays, Chinese, Indian and plus several other indigenous tribes.
Hence, unity is a condition in which all citizens from the various 
ethnic groups live in a peace as one united nationality giving full of 
commitment to national identity based upon the federal constitutionsand Rukun Negara..
