Few steps on making my interactive poster

First thing I did was import the poster I did for my assignment 1 into Adobe Flash.
Then I placed a new background for my poster because I find the previous one wasn't that attractive and I made it into full size as well as compare to the previous one.

I also change the opacity of the background frame by frame to give a more dramatic feel to it.


Place background.

Adjust the opacity of the background.


Next, I drew a black ball and made it bounce from the left side of the poster to the center by clicking the black ball I just drew, then clicking Motion Presets>Default Presets>Med Bounce.

Drew a small black ball.

Then I made the black ball bigger and made it slowly changed into an oval shape as well as add in the 'Malaysia' font I did previously into the middle of the black oval.


Black ball became an oval shape and "Malaysia' is added into the middle.


Next came the tagline. I've decided to put them beneath the Malaysia font so the first thing I put is the word 'variety'. I took it from the library and dragged it into the stage and place it on the left corner of the poster. Since I wanted it to move from the left to the center I clicked the Motion Presets again, then choose the Fly-in-left option.

Adding the 'variety' font.


Then I did the other fonts a bit similarly to the previous one, for example, for the word 'of', I also use the Motion presets and selected 'fly-in-bottom' and for 'culture' I chose 'Fly-in-left' as well and the other two fonts are 'Fly-in-right' and 'Fly-in-bottom'.


adding the font 'of'.

Adding 'culture'.

Adding 'And' as well as 'Food'.

And that is how I made my interactive poster. :]

Wallpaper continues....

So here's more of what I did for my wallpaper...

I place another picture into the wallpaper, and this time I use the Quick Mask Mode(Q) to crop out the image I want. You can find the Quick Mask Mode(Q) below of the tool bar with a shape of a rectangle with a circle in it.

Place a Christmas tree picture

After pressing the Quick Mask button, I use the Brush Tool(B) to highlight only the picture I wanted. I also adjusted the brush size to a proper size and the opacity to 100%.

Highlight the picture I wanted with the Brush Tool

After that, I click the Quick Mask Mode button again. This step will automatically delete the parts which you didn't highlight before. Then, I click Deselect to remove the highlighted line around the tree and also use the Eraser Tool to touch up some of the few pieces that still surround the tree.

Eraser Tool to erase any unwanted piece left

Then I adjusted the brightness and contrast of the tree.

Image> Adjustments> Brightness/Contrast

After that, I also added texture to my tree.

Filter> Artistic> Smudge Stick

Next, I also added a bit of effects to it.

Blending Options> Drop Shadow + Bevel & Emboss

After that, I use the Blur Tool to blur everything so it wouldn't look so edited.
Here's the final outcome of it...

Computer Graphics 3

I have change the blog title to 'Computer Graphics 3' because in semester 3 of my foundation year, this subject is require to make a blog as well for one of the assignment we will do and I've decided to use this blog again so it will be easier to find my previous computer graphics related work and the most recent one.
