The Making of Starfish Fantasy :

5 MAGIC STEP!

STEP 1 :

Firstly, open up the image skycrapers in the files archive that we downloaded from the tutorial session into the photoshop.I put the guide in the center of the picture to draw a shape. Then , i make it as a gaussian blur.

Drag the Starfish file into the other picture.

STEP 2 :

After drag the starfish into the picture, i use ctrl+t to transform the starfish in a different size. The first starfish i transform in a big size and copy to make it into the small size. Then, use the gaussian blur to show great depth of field.Next, the front starfish i use radial blur to make the different effect of the starfish. Apply mask layer and delete the part which need to be focus on the starfish. There, u can see its look like a real starfish falling down.

STEP 3 :

This step, drag the plasma tv and select the blue part and apply effect Filter>Sketch>Halftone Pattern.

STEP 4 :

Drag the plasma tv image to the building image, and resize the picture to have a great position in the building. After that, i creat the shadow of the plasma tv image to make it more realistic.

STEP 5 :

Final step. I use polagonal lasso and create a line of the shadow. Then use this effect, Filter>Blur>Gaussion Blur & adjust the Opacity.

Tadaaaa!

This is my final result in my tutorial 1.

Learning Outcome :

basic understanding of photoshop tools and features of using the skills of selections and controlling the tools by using shortcut key and image size handling and using the Save as option to save the image.
