Activity 5 – Advert Duplication in MS Publisher

1. Go to the Certificate III Business website and then find the page for this Unit of Competency. 2. Under Learning Resources – open the link for ‘BSBITU309A - Activity 6 – Advert Duplication in

MS Publisher’.3. Using MS Publisher, duplicate both of the two advertisements as close to identically as is possible.

Activity 6 – PhotoshopInstructions:

1. In your BSBITU309A folder, create a new subfolder called “Activity 6 – Photoshop”2. Go to http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/photoshop/l/bllps507ex1.htm and download the zip file

into the “Activity 6 – Photoshop” folder.3. Go through the exercises below, saving them into your BSBITU309A folder with the file names

specified.

Exercise 1 – Dolphins

1. Open the image lesson1e7.psd (attached to this email). Re-save the final completed image as “Activity 6 – Part 1” in your BSBITU309A -folder. We're going to color this image and apply several layer effects to produce the image shown here.

2. The first thing we need to do is promote the background to a layer so we can keep the lines separate from the color fills. Double-click the background and name it "lines" and set the blend mode to multiply. Setting the blend mode to multiply will allow the layers below to show through


http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/photoshop/l/bllps507ex1.htm

the white areas on the lines layer. By using the multiply blend mode, we don't have to worry about removing the white areas.

3. Add another layer and drop it behind the lines layer. Name this layer "Sea."

4. Choose the paint bucket tool and set the options to "Use all Layers." This will allow us to sample from the lines layer, but paint onto the Sea layer. Make sure the Contiguous button is checked and that the Sea layer is the active painting layer.

5. Show the Swatches palette and begin filling the background areas of the dolphin image with various shades of blue-green.

6. Remember you can press the Alt/Option key to pick up colors from your document.

7. Once the Sea layer has been filled in, create another new layer, name it dolphins, and drop it below the lines layer.

8. Fill each section of the dolphins with various shades of gray. You may need to zoom in close to catch some of the smaller areas.

9. When you finish filling in the dolphins, switch to the pencil tool and use the pencil tools and the eyedropper toggle to fill in any tiny areas that may have been missed.

10. Now let’s give the picture some dimension by applying layer effects. I used different amounts of Inner Bevel on each layer. Experiment with the layer effects until you come up with something you like.

11. Next we're going to add a watery texture to the Sea layer.

12. In Photoshop 6, use the Pattern Overlay layer style and set the Pattern to "Satin" and the blend mode to Soft Light. You might want to drop the opacity down and scale the pattern smaller.

13. To add the watery texture in Photoshop 5, you will need to use the water texture included in the zip file for this lesson. Insert a layer above the Sea layer. Open the water texture. Define it as a pattern and use the paint bucket to fill the layer with the pattern. Remember to uncheck use all layers and set the contents to pattern. Now change the blend mode of the layer to hard light and drop opacity down to about 50%. Your texture may not look exactly like my example because I used the pattern layer effect in Photoshop 6. If you've got a better water texture, feel free to use it instead.

14. Save the final completed image as ““Activity 6 – Part 1”’ in your BSBITU309A folder.


Exercise 2 - Straight lines

1. With the painting tools you can constrain your strokes to straight lines.

2. To make connected straight lines lines click once, then move the cursor, hold the shift key down, and click again. If you keep the shift key held down after the second click, you can continue clicking to make connected straight lines.

3. To make perfectly horizontal or vertical lines, click the mouse cursor, then before moving the cursor, hold the shift key down while keeping the mouse button pressed. While the shift key is down, you can drag the mouse either left or right, up or down, and it will stick in a straight line until you let up on the shift key.

4. This takes some practice.

5. Try to duplicate the image shown here by practicing these key combinations. Don't forget you can use the grids and guides to aid with alignment.

6. Save the final completed image as “Activity 6 – Part 2”’ in your BSBITU309A folder.


Exercise 3 - Painted Flower

1. Open the lesson7e3.jpg flower image for exercise 3. Re-save the image as “Activity 6 – Part 3”’ in your BSBITU309A folder.

2. Promote the background to a layer named "flower picture."

3. In Photoshop 5, make sure the background color is set to white and choose Layer > New > Background. In Photoshop 6, choose Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color. Set the color to white and then drop this layer to the bottom of the layers palette.

4. Use the eyedropper to pick up a purple color from the petals near the center of the flowers.

5. Add a new layer named petal outlines, and trace around the petals using the Wet Paint option of the paint brush tool.

6. Drop the opacity down on the flower picture layer if desired.

7. Create another new layer named petal paint and start painting in the petal color. Experiment with both the airbrush and the paintbrush. Also experiment with the fade options to paint in some of the darker veins of color. Don't worry about going outside the lines. I will show you how to fix that next.

8. If you've gone outside the lines on the petals, use the magic want to select the area outside of the outlines on the petal outline layer. Make sure the magic want is NOT set to use all layers. Once you have your selection, switch back to the petal paint layer and press delete/backspace to crop off the paint outside of the lines.

9. Next you can hide your two petal layers and add a new layer for the flower center. First pick a brown color and use a large soft brush with Wet Edges OFF to lay down a base for the flower center.

10. On yet another layer, you can use a custom brush to paint the yellow pollen onto the flower center. The brush I used was a textured brush from the default brushes.

11. At this point you may find it helpful to move the original flower photo above your painting layer and drop the opacity way back so you can just barely see it. Be sure to switch back to your pollen layer before painting again if you do!

12. Start painting with a brownish yellow using randomly placed clicks. Gradually increase the intensity of the yellow and pile it on for more depth.

13. When you've finished you can hide the original flower photo, and drop the petal paint layer below the petal outline layer to see the result.

14. If necessary, make a selection based on the petal outline layer, then switch to the petal paint layer and fill it more. Make the center part of the petals darker and add more veining.

15. On the brown flower center layer, use a textured brush with the eraser tool to texture the edge of the flower center.


16. Here's my very crude, 10-minute example:

17. I've deliberately left the steps a bit vague here to encourage your own experimentation. We're not going for a photographic replica here. The point is to develop your skills with a variety of Photoshop's painting tools. Keep working on it and practicing with this photo or some of your own until you've got something you're comfortable posting in the classroom forum.

18. Re-save the final completed image as “Activity 6 – Part 3”’ in your BSBITU309A folder.


Exercise 4 - Erase to HistoryIn this exercise, we're going to use the erase to history option to paint selective color back into a photo

that has been desaturated. Obviously, this technique will only work with a photo that started out in

color. Our next exercise will involve adding color to a grayscale photo.

1. First you want to open the file lesson7e4.jpg and re-save the image as “Activity 6 – Part 4”’ in your BSBITU309A folder.

2. Check the history palette to see the an initial snapshot has been created. If you don't have a snapshot create one now.|

3. Next go to Image > Adjust > Desaturate. This removes color without changing the color mode of the image.

4. Select the eraser tool and check the erase to history box in options.

5. Select a brush and begin painting from the center of the middle strawberry.

6. As you get to edges, use the keyboard shortcuts you learned for varying the brush size and hardness. See if you can paint in the strawberry's color without ever moving your mouse to the brushes palette.

7. If you accidentally paint color where you don't want it... don't panic! Just switch to the paintbrush tool, set the paint color to any shade of gray and set the paint mode to Saturation. When you paint with gray in saturation mode, it desaturates the image.

8. Re-save the final completed image.

9. Are there easier ways of doing this exercise? Yes, using layers would have been easier, but the beauty of Photoshop is that you have so many options and you never know when one method will offer an advantage over another.


Exercise 5 - ColorizingNow that we've removed the color from a color photo and injected the color back in to selected areas,

let's do just the opposite. This time we'll start with a gray photo and paint color onto it. I've chosen a

simple flower, but you might prefer to use an antique family photo of your own for practice. If you use

your own photo, make sure the color mode is set to RGB before you begin.

1. Open the photo lesson7e5.jpg. Re-save the image as “Activity 6 – Part 5”’ in your BSBITU309A folder.

2.3. Make sure you have an initial snapshot in the history palette or create a new snapshot if you need

to.

4. Select the paintbrush tool. Set the mode to color and the opacity fairly low--around 20-40%.

5. This type of coloring looks best when it is very subtle. Keeping opacity low will help, but you also want to be careful not to select a bright, highly saturated color. When you pick your foreground color, watch the S and B numbers in the HSB section and don't pick a color with more than 80% saturation or brightness.

6. Since you're using a low opacity, remember that the paint is layered on every time you let up on the mouse button and begin a new paint stroke. It's best to fill in one very faint layer of color without letting up on the mouse button, then layer more color on here and there as needed.

7. Experiment with different colors and opacity to mix and blend colors.

8. Don't worry about going outside the edges, because you can use erase to history to paint that color back out.



Exercise 6 - Airbrush ShadingThe airbrush tool is commonly used for adding dimension with highlights and shading. I've made it

easier on you and provided a layered Photoshop file with a pre-drawn heart shape on its own layer.

1. Open the image lesson7e6.psd. Re-save the image as “Activity 6 – Part 6”’ in your BSBITU309A folder.

2. Practice using the airbrush tool with black and white paint to add dimension to the heart. Your goal is to produce something that looks like the finished example here. You can use layer effects for the drop shadow, but I only want you to use the airbrush for dimensional shading.

3. Tips:

a. Work on a separate layer!b. Group the highlight and shadow layers with the heart layer so your paint doesn't spray

outside of the heart shape.c. Notice in my example how the black shading goes all the way to the edge, but the white

highlights don't.d. Mouse users may have a difficult time working with the airbrush tool. If you have a

pressure-sensitive tablet, by all means... use it!e. Look closely at the world around you and notice how real-life objects have highlights and

shadows. This is the key to realistic painting in any graphics software.



Exercise 7 - Rainbow Paint JobIn this exercise we're going to give this car a new paint job!

1. Open the image lesson7e7.jpg. Re-save the image as “Activity 6 – Part 7”’ in your BSBITU309A folder.

2. Select the linear gradient tool, and choose the Spectrum preset gradient.

3. Set the paint mode to Hue. The Hue mode works very much like Color, with one distinct difference: gray or unsaturated areas in the image are not colored. Because this image has a mostly gray background, the color will only appear where color already exists.

4. Switch to the info palette before dragging the gradient out. Start at the front bumper of the car, then watch the A (angle) indicator in the info palette and drag upwards at an angle of about 112 degrees. (I only know this number as a result of trial and error experimentation.) Release the mouse button just above the roof of the car at the 112 degree angle.

5. Right now the image probably looks pretty good, but there's a bit more we can do to touch it up.

6. Paint with black in saturation mode to remove all traces of color from the background and on the wheels.

7. Then use erase to history to touch up a few areas like the hood emblem, fog lights, windshield, and the front license plate.

8. For the final touch, add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer and bump the saturation up to about 20-30.

9. No selections, no masking, and it probably only took you a few minutes. Now how much would you have to pay for a paint job like that in real life?

10. Re-save your completed work.


Exercise 8 - Background EraserIn this exercise, we'll use the background eraser to remove the background while preserving the drop

shadow, then we'll drop a new gradient background in.

1. Open the original image from the last exercise. Re-save the image as “Activity 6 – Part 1”’ in your BSBITU309A folder.

2. Use the background eraser to remove the majority of the background but don't remove the shadow under the car. The beauty of this tool is that you don't have to do a lot of work to preserve the shadow under the car.

3. Drop in a new white background and clean up the stray pixels with more background eraser and the regular eraser tool.

4. Use the eraser at a very low opacity to touch up around the edge of the drop shadow of the car. A loose, feathered lasso selection around the shadow area and then gaussian blurring can be used to smooth and even out the shadow even more.

5. Use erase to history to add back bits of the car that might have been taken out with the background eraser.

6. When you're satisfied, switch to the background and fill it with the chrome gradient.

7. Do a little more shadow touch-up if needed.



Activity 7 – Create a Publication1. Go to the Certificate III Business website and then find the page for this Unit of Competency. 2. Under Learning Resources – open the link for ‘BSBITU309A - Activity 7 – Junction Fish and

Chips’.3. Using MS Publisher or Adobe Photoshop or Adobe InDesign, create your own version of the

Junction Fish and Chips advertisement.

Part 1 – PreparationComplete the table below BEFORE you begin creating your publication.
