LAB 2 - Layering

the photoshop tutorial for this week is about layering.
as told by Mdm Lydia, I named all the layers which I failed to do so for the last tutorial.

Continued from the last tutorial which is selection, I proceed my e-wallpaper with layering.

First of all, i start a new paper with A4 size. I input the fom building which i have selected last week as the 1st layer in the new paper and named the layer as fom building.

The next object i put inside the new paper is the red carpet. I adjust its size by using transform control.

I find another new image with a welcome gesture girl and select it with quick selection tool. same as previous, i move it to the new layer and named it as welcome girl.

 In order to obtain an appropriate background, I have used plenty approaches. and at last, I choose to use images like retro light and grass to get better background together. I do some adjustment with the both layers such as lightness and contrast, colour adjusting and so on. In between, I also have done the MMU logo with horizontal type tool to type the words and combine it together with the logo selected.

next, I continue using horizontal type tool to type the "FOM OPEN DAY" and all the info required. I did the colour effect on "FOM OPEN DAY" with gradient tool after selecting the pixel by right click on the thumbnails. Same goes for the info words. But instead of make a color gradient on the fonts, i make some shadows effects on the info fonts.

 Before going to the last step, I decide to duplicate the fom building image and make a blending options by setting the original fom building layer a 15% opacity and multiply blend mode. after that, i somehow adjust all the images and layers little by little to obtain a better effect.  

and finally, this is my final product for layering.
