Let's protect environment....(Wk6_2)

Today on many electronic devices we may find many different marks of standard like CE(Europe standard) , UL (US standard).... but we rarely see any mark of protecting environment mark. I have found only protecting environment marks on refrigerator and air conditioner of LG and Sanyo products, so I had an idea to design a simple mark of protecting environment which was created of green leaves for good protection of forest, blue for fresh air and water, human hand for consciousness of people on protection of environment.

Simple but easy to realize(Wk6_1)

On the last Saturday when walking on the street I found many traffic guide boards with simple design of lines and shapes. Therefore, I had an idea: why don't I modify it to make it look more interesting? My modified design of boards look very simple with blue background and white for objects. I think that if these boards applied on the streets they may make the streets look more interesting.

Design a letter(Wk5_2)

In the previous week Miss Tuyet gave me a letter "C" . At the first time I had no idea to design it but after looking at some letter designs I got an Idea: design different types of "C" letter to use it for different purposes: the first and the last one could be used on advertising because it has decorations at corners, the second one could be used for labels of commercial products like sweet or toys. the third one is suitable for technical drawing only like drawings of machines or charts (diagrams) because it is clearly to be recognized.

How to make a dynamic image from an usual image(Wk5_1)

Photoshop is a powerful software to help us add and adjust effects on our original photo to a splendid photo. today I want to introduce the most easiest way on photoshop to adjust a normal photo to a photo with motion inside. Firstly, let's choose a motorman for my example:


After choosing an image, I used stamp tool (S) and Healing brush tool (J) to clone the corners to make it looks like a normal photo. Next, I used polygonal lasso tool (L) to choose the whole motorman. In next step I choose filter\blur\motion blur and adjust to about 3. That's all for motorman. However, the background looks like a static scene, so I choose select\inverse (or Ctrl+Shift+I) and after that choose filter\blur\gaussian blur and adjust to 2.8. Here is the result:

In Ho Chi Minh city people can find many places where they can cover their mobile phones and laptops with labels. This is really convenient because label can protect your mobile phones and laptops against scratches. This service is quite cheap, about 10,000VNĐ for a mobile phone and 30,000VNĐ for a laptop.

Blends on photoshop (Wk4_1)

Photoshop has many interesting functions. One of them is brush. I really love to use brush because it really saves time for us to make complicated images and effects with least time. Brushes can be downloaded easily from internet at some design forums like DevianArt. After downloading it, you must open "Brush window" in Photoshop and then choose your brushes which had been downloaded before and drag them to the "Brush window". That is the easiest way to install a mass of brushes at the same time. in order to make bland, the most important thing is that you must take care of color brightness and contrast. this is very important because if you do it carelessly, people ca realize the contour of object which is manipulated.
