tutorial 1

used the ruler as guideline and i made a cross line at the centre







i used marquee tool to make a marquee, not too small and not too big at the centre, then feather it about 40 pixels and blurred using gaussian blur around 6 pixels.





i dragged a starfish inside the background then resized it smaller..

by holding alt key, i clicked on the starfish to make a copy of it then dragged it to other side.



then i resized it smaller. with same procedure, i made another copy by resizing it smaller then before. and used gaussian blur for both of the stafishes with different pixels.


the original starfish i blurred it with radial blur..by making another copy of it and dragged the new layer below the original layer.

by using brush tool and used 700 pixels of size, i clicked it at the starfish..

opened a new file, the plasma tv..

used the rectangular marquee tool, follow the inside of the plasma tv..then clicked on filter-->>sketch-->>halftone pattern..
redo the capacity as followed..
then the plasma tv looked like this..
dragged it to the background..

by holding shift key, clicked and dragged the tv to the place that it should..and holding alt key, clicked and dragged to order the angle to the right place..and made the shadow from the layer path and choosed drop shadow..and i arranged it by clicking the plasma tv and the shadow appeared..


to follow the shadow from behind, dissappeared the plasma tv first..i used a lasso tool to draw a line, followed the shadow that already there by holding alt key and clicked until it arrived from the start place..then clicked alt+backspace to make it black..opened the gaussian blur and blurred it..then appeared the plasma tv back...

while the shadow layer still active, hold ctrl key and clicked on the tv layer and clicked on the layer mask icon..then reduced the capacity to what ever value, i used 45%..then finished

and the outcome....

i learnt from the videos provided..
