Special Appreciation to My Practical Staff

This is my first time exposed my work information to this blog. For your information, last week I taught my practical staff altogether 6 persons to do simple design using Adobe Photoshop. Not that easy to teach those who are not meant to do graphic design. Most of them will be graduated in IT programming and networking.

So here the challenges came. I asked them to make few objects from internet, being cut and change its original form. Then pasted in MyDesign.psd which is in A4 format. Should contained 2 background layer and have special effect on the colour (not original colour). Make the design interesting look than the original one before combine all the objects in different layer. Meaning that one object one layer for easy modification of the object. Congrats to you, my dear practical staff. Finally you know how to design... So sweet!

And these were the result :

Eja's Design

Background colour using gradient green + black in the middle. At the back, original flower plants converted into cartoon form. Front objects, cartoon characters with red stroke blending option. This indicate that two is better than one phrase and 2 little birds stay close together in the middle of sunset. Showing abstract meaning.

Kamel's Design

First thing when I looked at this design, I can feel the brave, the anger, the revolution. Taking from the cartoon characters, combining together into single form gave fantasy look. The phrase given suitable for the graphic design. Not much can comment... since the objects chosen gave the meaning of fighting or war purposes.

Sofea's Design

This design look so natural although the objects were different. Beach background turned into dessert. Flying birds look original. Dark clouding means hope. It is good design to emphasis the phrase chosen.

Syamil's Design

Abstract meaning to show the ocean situation. Objects chosen were suitable and gave different look. Different people may intercept different perception. This design gave deep meaning to reveal the secret from the ocean.

Nad's Design

Commercial look to advertise adidas product. Focused more on the middle object, followed by the surrounding objects to support the adidas logo. Blue background being effected by the falling sweats..  Overall, nice and compact look version of design.

Wan's Design

 

Jungle, forest backgound felt alive with the combination colour of dark magenta + orange gradient. Objects chosen have outer glow blending options. Not much can comment since the purpose of this design wanted to show how to love the creation of God... Overall, poster look version of design.
