WEEK 11 - Development Process

They are many techniques are available in the Adobe Photoshops. It just a matter of the user/designer creativity to use it in a proper way. That is how active and self learner take place. All student independently have to explore details on how to use all the tools available. One of the most important techniques I used is a crop techniques. All the pictures have been applied to this techniques. This technique purposely to combine two or more picture to have a one nice picture. Others trick I used is duplicate layer and background layer. It is to avoid interruption to the layer so that ease for us to manage our work.

Filter also my popular tricks in order to get a nice effect to the picture. For example in my picture one (1), I used motion blur and noise filter to get some nice motion blur effect. For my picture two (2), I used pixelate, mosaic and also gausian blur filter. This kind of filters is to pixels the picture and illustrated many windows on single picture. To create the water color paints and rain effect in the picture four, I also used a filter technique. For example I used cut out filter and media filter (bluring the image) to produce water color effect while again I used noise, gacusian, and another motion blur filter to produce a rain effect.

Next technique I usually used in this assignment is play with the blend mode to the layers. For example, I used color burn mode for picture one, overlay and multiply mode for picture two, pinlight and softlight mode to the picture three, and mode luminosity to picture four. I noticed when I play around with this blend mode, I can see a nice transformation effect to each of the layer that have been applied. So effective technique and love to use it. Other than that I also play with color and used brush tool to get a nice effect to the picture. For example, I used colorized image technique to picture one and then using brush tool to paint the image in order to get natural skin color.

Last but not least technique that I applied to my last picture (picture five) is, I used plugin software. This is very useful tip in order to ease our job where its can minimise the steps to produce an interesting picture effect. For this picture I try to use two different plugin software. There are Dither plugin and Niksoft plugin. This two plugin have a different function and features also different interface but combination of them produce very interesting impact to my picture.

WEEK 10 - Story of the picture

My theme is called ‘my Nurin’. This concept of photos really focusing on my two (2) kids. In malay Nurin means ‘cahaya’ and both of them like cahaya to me. This five picture will try to illustrated their feel and their journey together all this while and I would like to share it what I feel to them with them and everybody else. Each of the picture have their own characteristic and the name and they bring a lots of meaning to me as a their father. Bellow is the explanation for each of the picture:-

Picture 1 - Towards destination

In the picture, I’ll try to portrays my two kids is walking together towards to the successful future. The eldest (Nurin Nabilah) is always be a guidance to her sisters (Nurin Izzati). They will try to grape as much as the can the useful knowledge and left behind the past to be as a valuable experience. In the picture also show how much love and cares between them together. What ever, if anything happen in the future, they will stick together to get through the challenges in order to achieve their journey and destiny. Like people said, “togetherness we strong, separation we loss”. That spirits show in the picture.

Picture 2 - Window of happiness

Kids happiness is the one of the many important criteria in a family. If they (kids) happy, it will bring the happiness to the whole of family. From this picture I can see how sincere of them to that moments. It realize me that kids need loves from their parents and we should protect them and give them a full of support to continue their happiness. Makes them fill that we always with them in what matter happened. When I looked back to this picture, its remind me back when I was young before with my sisters. Kids life its very fun and so important to them to develop as a true kids in the right track. Let them explorer all their interesting life so that when they getting older they will appreciate to what has happened during their small and adapt it to their kids later.

Picture 3 - Dare To Touch

Looks cute but do you dare to touch it. That’s the question I try to through in this picture. I try to visualize the picture of my kids on the cracked wall where the wall represent how hard the character of Nurin Izzati, but sometimes be careful her heart also easy to be break. Always seen she happy and smile but sometimes she can become very cold. At this moment she showed the serious character and as her parent to the kid at this age, we must sensitive to our kids need and always give the attention to them. They are in the learning process and it is our job to analyse their behaviour.

Picture 4 – Miss you mama

This picture shows how closed my nurin to her mama. Sometimes most of the parent overlook their kids feelings. One of the important feeling is ‘Miss Their Parent’. We can see their character/behaviour when their miss to their mama, for example in this picture my Nurin try to call her mama but she didn’t know how to do it. What she can do it just wait and see the telephone. Perhaps her mama call her. Rain effect on the picture is try to illustrated how much she miss her mama at the moment.

Picture 5 – In search of

My Nurin is still young and valuable to me. Lot of things to happen in the future and we doesn’t know what it is. But as a young kid what they can do is perhaps and look a guidance from their parent. Many things they need in order to get through in this challenging life. For example, love, caring and attention from peoples around them. That’s why this picture I name it as ‘in search of’ because they always look something, new things, new information and knowledge but still under parent control as a guidance. That’s why this picture try to be more focuses to the eyes where my cute Nurin in the process of looking or searching on somethings.
