My coverbook


It is the first time I design a cover book. It’s the difficult work. I have to spend a lot of time to design this cover. I like the dark colour it makes the novel is more impressive. I decide to take the photograph at home, it must belong the content of this novel. RAIN? It is not necessary; you can do better by using some thing related to rain!!! Well, that is the preparation for idea. Next, the technique is very very difficult why? Because you have to make every thing belong to the Standard, you have to make the printer understand your meaning and don’t waste money…I am quite happy when my cover book is CR, I hope I will try to do better in the future. Thanks Maddy who help me to touch the strange thing.

Impressive job

This is the first time I try to play with warm colour. They want to burn me! When see at again the colour knit together make the picture be more abstract. Beside that, the liquidfy tool plays an important role, it make the text like the flow inside the hot river. You can see the text… oh man… these are some thing I want to tell when semester is coming the ending. Thanks!!!!

Photoshop1


These pictures are edited by Photoshop. One thing that I use the Gradient and wave effect to make the text “DIM”. I can try to make it better; it is suitable to make the title of magazine and webpage. And another thing, it comes from an original pic that I received when I buy a Professional Camera (it is a gift). After change some colours and edit the option blending. At now, the picture is not a real image; it is an art on the wood surface. You can imagine that the artist who doesn’t create it by pen or the camera. Perhaps the artist is a carpenter.

The lense


This picture is captured at Sentosa Island, a most beautiful Island in Singapore. I was interested in the double-decker in this Island. This image of double-decker is the especial style in Singapore. After seeing the second pic that is edited by Photoshop, you will imagine that “I am standing in front of the camera; I am focusing on the double-decker to take the photograph but there was raining outside”. Wow, Photoshop again helps me to make the interesting thing .

Rainbow



I really like to play with Photoshop. Through it, I can make everything become an actual thing. This picture was captured by me when I traveled to Singapore. There was no rain, no rainbow but hot and dry. I use Photoshop to make the sight after the rain, the sky is brighter… And A Rainbow appears. Do you feel that is true? Wow I believe that Everything is possible .
