E-Wallpaper

Step 1: Open Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended. Go to File--->New--->Preset---->International Paper---> Choose A4 size then select width and height plus the resolution. Once done click OK.

Step 2: On your right side below click on layers. Once click it you will see background with a lock icon beside it then double click on the background to unlock the layer then click OK.

Step 3: Next click on styles on your top right hand corner. Choose Chromed Satin (Text) style.

Step 4: I open my first image which is mmu logo. Before starting make sure to unlock the layer. Then select pencil tool to draw a layer over the image. After drawing using pencil tool then use brush to colour up the drawn layer. Once done press Ctrl+c to copy the image and Ctrl+v to paste the image onto the A4 image.

Step 5: Next I open my second image which is a book image and follow the same steps as Step 4 above. I select the free transform option to re-size and scale the image.

Step 6: I open my third image which is a picture of a group of students. I then used the same same steps in Step 4 to copy and paste the image onto my wallpaper as shown below. I used the magic wand tool to just select and inverse the students image rather than selecting together with the background. I also reduced the opacity level to 67% so that the image will look transparent.

Step 7: Next I select the Text option on the left side to create FOM OPEN DAY text and change the color to red by choosing color options on the top right side.

Step 8: I follow the same steps in Step 8 to insert another text which is the date as shown below.

Step 9: Then I open my small icon images which contains all the courses that offered by the Faculty of the Management. Once opened, I then follow Step 4 to copy and paste the images onto my wallpaper as shown below.

Step 10: .Before I ended my e-wallpaper I added two images which are MMU mascot Bee. I used the magic wand tool again to just select the mascot icon without the background.

 Step 11: Finally, I increased the Saturation to +10 to improve the image quality. Brightness is adjusted so that the image wouldn't look very bright with the colors. I also used effects such as inner shadow,drop shadow,bevel and emboss,gradient overlay and satin. Final image is shown below.
