Assignment 1 Video

Assignment 2

We have done Charlie Chaplin's speech which is The Great Dictator .

Soldiers - don't give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you and enslave you - who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel, who drill you, diet you, treat you as cattle, use you as cannon fodder.Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men! Machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts. You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts. You don't hate - only the unloved hate. Only the unloved and the unnatural. Soldiers - don't fight for slavery, fight for liberty!

In the seventeenth chapter of Saint Luke it is written " the kingdom of God is within man " - not one man, nor a group of men - but in all men - in you!

You the people have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness. You the people have the power to make life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of democracy let's use that power - let us all unite
. Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give you the future and old age and security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power, but they lie. They do not fulfill their promise, they never will. Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people. Now let us fight to fulfill that promise. Let us fight to free the world, to do away with national barriers, to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason! A world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness.

Soldiers - in the name of democracy, let us all unite!

Task 1 Static Poster

Patriotism Poster

STEPS ON HOW I DID THE PATRIOTIC POSTER

STEP 1

Open Adobe Photoshop > Create New File (A4 size) > Start Drawing the character with a Tablet (Wacom Intuos4) > Start with outline of the character > Then draw them all out one by one > Start filling in the colors and the character is done!

STEP 2

Next , create new layer for the flag to be put behind the character > The flag is also drawn out manually with a tablet > Just like the character , start with an outline > Then start to draw them out one by one and fill em with colors.

STEP 3

Next , create a new layer and start filling out the background with the color of my choice (#9e0b0f) > Again , this is done manually by hand with a tablet . > Create a white outline outside the character and the flag to make them pop out the picture .

Step 4


Next , find an image with the map of Malaysia > Select the magic wand tool (W) and select the background of the image > Right click and Select Inverse > Fill the selected image with the color of my choice (#002b7f)
Next , copy the image that has been done Ctrl+C > Paste it on a new layer at the previous image Ctrl+V
This is to fill up the red background of the initial picture to create a contrast effect with the blue color of the map .

STEP 5

Next , select Type Tool (T) and select the type of my choice (Cafe Nero M54) and write out "MALAYSIA" on top of the picture 

STEP 6

I choose the quote "The land where my blood is spilt" which is taken from the translated version of Negaraku which is the national anthem of Malaysia 
The font used for the quote is Constantia .

and the poster is DONE!
