Wallpaper do-over

Afte creating my new text, I thought that instead os making a whole new background with whole new pictures, I decided to adapt from my original background. Instead of using the picture of the park, I got rid of it instead, just leaving the bonfire and the fireworks and using the Paint Bucket Tool,  I painted the whole background black instead. I also got rid of the original text.

Oh and if you noticed, I also added one more firework because... well just because I wanted to put one more in XD

Then I just transferred the file onto the my text file to combine the two pictures. and applied vivid light to the fireworks and bonfire layer.

So there you have it. My final wallpaper for the 1st assignment. It looks much simpler than the first one but I hope it gives off a better feeling of the atmosphere of this festival :D

Wallpaper Text

After some time, I decided that I'd like to do a different take to my original wallapaper. I think it would be better for me to do a silhouette effect for my wallpaper. It gives a better feeling of the brightness of the bonfire and the fireworks against the darkness of the night surroundings.

So I decided to change the text of my wallpaper, I thought it should have some sort of fire effect to the text to further emphasize the bonfire. First I opened up a new file, the size A4.

Using the Paint Bucket Tool, I changed the background from white to black

Then I typed in the text that I want using Text tool, making sure that I changed the colour of the text to white so it doesn't blend in with the background

Then I used clicked on Filter > Gaussian Blur to soften the edges and pressed Command + E to merge the layers together

Then using the Smudge tool, I smudged the text so the text gives off a flame effect

Then I duplicate the layer and pressed Command + U to change the hue/saturation of each of the layers

Then I applied linear dodge to my top layer so it gives off the desired effect

So that's how I created the text for my wallpaper :)

e-wallpaper

First I open up photoshop and select my desired settings

Then I rotated it so the paper is now landscape, which is more appropriate for an e-wallpaper and placed the image that I'm using for the background.

So now that i have the background, I want to adjust it so it looks like it's at night.

Now that's done, I'll work on the images that will be put into the main image. 

Like for the bonfire, I opened up the picture of the bonfire that I have saved before in Photoshop and used the magic wand tool to remove the background and just have the image of the bonfire. This goes the same for the image of the fireworks

Since the fireworks picture had some text at the bottom of the picture, I used the eraser tool to erase the extra text.

Then I transfer multiple images of it into the main image, and also I transfer the fireworks as well

Since the left top corner seemed a bit empty, I decide to add some text to the e-wallpaper stating the festival.

So that's my first Computer Graphics assignment done! My very 1st attempt at an e-wallpaper :)

Pictures~

Looked on the internet for the pictures I'll be using, google is such a wonderful thing~  :D

Bonfire

Park

Fireworks

ideas~

So decided to do some sketches for my wallpaper so I get a basic idea of what I'm going to do later on. It's a really basic sketch so forgive me if I'm no Picasso XP

I was thinking of putting the background as some park, because that's where they usually hold the bonfires, but I'm not sure yet. Will finalize other details later.
