Project Objective

To create a multi-cultural event for a post card. The theme would be "Malaysia,Truly Asia" which is the official slogan for Malaysia Tourism. Students are to show the multi-cultural aspects of Malaysia culture or life as a positive feature to attract tourist into this country.

Approach


Idea

Show the beauty of Malaysia and its people.It's a tourism postcard to attract visitors using nature/landmark scenery.In the postcard, it visualize that Malaysians are friendly and people are always welcome. It also shows that Malaysia is a multiracial nation and lives harmony with each other.

How do you create the postcard
The idea is to show the beauty of Malaysia and its friendliness. For this assignment, I will use Adobe Photoshop Cs2. I used basic techniques based on the tutorial videos that were provided and some of my own practice with Photoshop. I used one of Malaysia's famous landmark as the background. Then I will add an image of a group of Malaysians with different nationality and culture. Next, I'll add and edit a Malaysian Flag to include it in the postcard. Lastly, I will add the "Malaysia,Truly Asia" slogan.

Basically, this is the first time that I use Adobe Photoshop. I am interested in learning Photoshop and hopefully will be able to complete all my assignments. I did face some difficulties in Photoshop especially in techniques to make the edited images blend with the background. I use the tutorial videos and some practice on my own to solve these difficulties.
