Sick of concrete buildings? part 2..

Today, i would like to introduce you guys know about the layout for my activities in the website. First of all, let get a look for my overall layout for my group blog. This is the link for my group blog http://thebimbotics.blogspot.com/ . hope you guys to visit our blog ya...:)

According to the layout, all information icon will be on the left side and ACTIVITIES is fifth icon from the top . To view the activities, you gotta click on the activities link . Are you wondering what you will see inside the activities page ? Look at the general layout below . Do not assume that this is a boring layout ! It seems bore because words and pictures are not filled it . It gonna be totally different when each and every corner is fill up with colours and words.

I had separated the activities into its very own link . For each of the link above, it provides you different information. The main reason , I made the layout in this way because I didn't want visitors to read a bulk of information at the same time and not having time to digest it. I made it in this way so that readers can read each activities separately with sufficient information. They do not need to scroll many times up and down to look for some particular information. 

For instance , click in Marine Park Centre . All information about Marine Park Centre  will be displayed on the content area including image and description that shows the places that are available for Marine Park Centre . Readers will be able to plan out their best Marine Park Centre destination before the holidays.

All the above is layout for my website. hope u guys can understand what i mentioned at above.:)

Select the pictures that using for our layering~~

Drag the selected pictures, repeating the this steps for the others.

After draging all the pictures into this new photo file, then we can start arranging the pictures. Because every layer is putting one picture, so we need to arrange the picture to make it as a nice looking walpaper.

     i using the "layer style" to edit the image by using drop shadow,inner shadow, outer glow, inner glow and stroke.

After duplicate, I have to change Normal to Linear Burn as more darker background.

This is the complete photo

In this photo I was using six layers in total. The top layer that i put is MMU banner..I do this is because i want to make MMU banner is stand in front to the photo.Besides that, the TM logo that i put at the top of the corridor picture.So that, it will appear on top of corridor picture there.The admin building put at the bottom of the layer,because it will let others of pictures cover at the top of the building.So, that layer will located at the bottom of layer.

Tutorial 1 

In this tutorial, I'm going to teach you the selection process. I'm going to use Adobe Photoshop through this process. After this tutorial, you will be able to select a part of the image that you want from the actual image.

Let us start our tutorial now..

 First,getting your picture from Internet or taking the pictures you want to used for. .All the pictures are different in width and height. So now let me to explain the picture how you are going to edit it.

          Firstly you can using the rectangle marquee tool, magic wand tool, quick selection tools or others selection tools to make selection of the pic. For example: Because the bottom part of the picture you don wan it, the selection tools is make used of picking the part of the picture that you want or the part that you want to deleted.

For example make selection to the sky. because the sky part that i don't want.

                                                    The selection part have been deleted.  

                                     
                                                           Make the selection to the sky

  The selection of part have been deleted.

  Select the right corner behind the students.

                                                     The selection part have been deleted.

 After done the selection, you open the new photo file which is in A4 size,by choosing A4 size you need to select  the "present" and set it to "international paper" then go to the "size" set it to A4.

this is the A4 size photo after press the "OK" button..

                                                 And now is time to copy the picture that have been selected just now.

Select the “move tool” and using the command code (Ctrl + C) and go to the new photo there to paste it. If the width & height of the picture is not suit, you can go to the top menu bar by selecting the “Edit-->Free Transform” or either using the command shortcut which is (Ctrl + T) to adjust the height or width. TIPS: to hold the the original ratio, u can hold the "Shift" key to increase or decrease the both height & width with constant ratio.

1)

     

   To make used of good arrangement of the picture, each picture I was putting as a new layer for it.  So when the future time I want to make any changes wont affect the other layers. 

TIPS: If you want to make a copy of the picture, select the picture layer, and you just need to hold the “Alt” key and drag the picture you wan to. It is the simple way to make a picture copy.

    Coming on with the others picture I was just repeating the steps for the non-changes pictures. 

        That all for the tutorial.hope you all can understand it.thanks for viewing my blog...^^
