Since I had decided my theme of my E-wallpaper, I had started to search the picture from Google. There are 10 pictures i chose to make my E-wall paper. But firstly, I have to create a new PSD file for E-wallpaper.
Firstly, I click File>New or Ctrl+N to create a new file.
After that, This file used to be A4 size from the requirement that our lecturer given.
So, after i click the File> New or Ctrl+N, a window will appear. Then, I click on the Preset bar to change into International Paper, after that choose the A4 size on the Size bar.
Lastly, the resolution also changed to 72 pixels/inch which required for the Assignment 1.
After that, click OK button, an A4 size file will appear.
Through the lesson that Madam Lydia had taught me, when the resolution are low, the size of the file will be a bit different than what I had set.
So, I go double checked with clicking Image>Image size button or Alt+Ctrl+I.
A window appear and show the size of the file.
And It become 20.99cm x 29.7cm, the original size will be 21.0cm x 29.7cm.
But we can't change the size of the image, so Madam Lydia asked me to not care about it because it just a little bit different. Lastly, I name the new file to Assignment 1 file.
After create a new file, it is start to do my assignment.
The first one need to do is background. I had chose the universe-like picture to become my background.
I use Rectangular Marquee Tool to select whole picture, and Ctrl+C to copy it.
After that, I pasted it at the Assignment 1 file.
The Picture I pasted it in the Assignment 1 file will be different size, so i press Ctrl+T to resize and rotate the picture I pasted to fit the A4 size background.
After done those steps, I will have a background already !
But I felt there is still have some problem to the backgorund. So, i create a new layer by click the new layer button in the Layer window. After that, I changed the layer became a color layer by clicking the top-left bar in Layer window. Then, I use brush tool and select black color, and then color the new color layer.
The background become black color, and I left the Top-right of the background remain its color.
Now looks better.
And now, it is time to add new thing on it.
I selected a Moon from a pictue to add on it. Firstly, I use the Quick Selection tool to crop oni the Moon in the piture, aftr that I press Ctrl+X to cut it out and paste it in Assigment 1 file.
Same using Ctrl+T to resize the Moon and put it at top-right size of the picture.
After that, time to repair the Moon because it have some "hole" on it.
I used Spot Healing Brush Tool to correct it. And then the Moon is "Full" again.
After Moon, It is time for the next Main soul character in legend of Mid Autumn Festival - Chang Er, A beautiful lady who fly from earth to the Moon because of eaten a miracle pill.
Like the steps I crop the moon using
Quick selection tools, I crop out the picture of Chang Er.
And then I paste it in Assignment 1 file and resize it. After that, I put "her" to the right side below the Moon. Now it is look more better, but it doesnt have a old style feeling.
So, create a new "color" layer and use Brush Tool with light brown color to color both Chang Er and Moon.
Now they looks more better.
Now, it is time for Lantern.
I found an interesting dragon lantern picture. So, I chose it to be part of my picture.
Firstly, same as before, use
quick selection tool to crop the dragon lantern. Second, cut it and paste it into the Assignment 1 file. Third, press
Ctrl+T to resize it. After done resize press
Ctrl+D or Enter key.
Lastly, I moved the Dragon Lantern layer to the back of the Chang Er layer.
And now, back to the Moon layer. I found that the Moon was not look very clear and details and its side was not look very nice because its side was uneven.
So, firstly, I click the Moon layer first, then I click
Image> Auto Color. And now it looks moe details and clear. Second, I click
Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur to blur the side of the Moon by 2.5pixels of Radius.
And now, The Moon look better.
After that, back to Chang Er and Moon's color layer.
I just call this layer as color layer 2, because I had use the first color layer on back ground.
If we magnified the picture, we will saw there is some color layer over out from the Chang Er and Moon.
So, I used
Eraser Tool to recorrect it.
After the repairation, it is time for adding other pictures.
Now I wanted to make some normal lantern we play during Mid Autumn Festival.
Firstly I want to make a lantern background.
Same like before, using Quick Slection Tool to crop out the lantern.
And then, paste it on the Assignment 1 file. I call this layer as Lantern background 1.
After that, resize it by pressing
Ctrl+T and press
Ctrl+D after done resize and adjustment.
Then, Move the Lantern Background 1 to the back of the Dragon Lantern.
Lastly, I used
Dodge tool to Lighten the Lantern.

And now it is time for the main Lantern.
Same like always crop with
Quick Selection tool.
But this time, there are some black part top-left side of the lantern.
After crop, paste it in the Assigment 1 file and press
Ctrl+T to resize it.
Then, I use the
Polygonal Lasso tool to cut away the unused black part.
A complete lantern has done.
After that, I use
Rectangular Marquee Tool selected the side of the Lantern.
Because I wanted to make the side of the Lantern become blur.
So, I click
Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur and make it to radius 1.5pixels.
After that, make another side of the lantern with same steps.
Mmm..Hmm..
It is time for eating!
In Mid Autumn Festival, sure can not abandon the Mooncake !!

The next picture will be Moon Cake.
Firstly, use
Quick Selection Tool to crop it. Then paste it in the Assignment 1 file.
Secondly, press
Ctrl+T and resize the Mooncake layer.
Lastly, I placed it under the Chang Er.
And now is time for Moon's pet, The jade bunny.
But actually I don't know the what the Jade Bunny actually look like. So, I just find a cute rabbit picture to replace it.
Same as usual, use
Quick Selection Tool to crop and paste it into the Assignment 1 file.
And then, Press
Ctrl+T to resize it.
Lastly, I placed the rabbit under Chang Er's another bottom side.
To let the rabbit suit the Theme of the Chang Er and Moon, I make another new color layer for the Rabbit.
Use
brush tool with Light brown color and color the rabbit.
Now looks better.
And now is the problem of the Left-Bottom side of the picture.
I think I need to add something on it. So, that means I need do another lantern background.
So, I use
Rectangular Marquee Tool to select all the lantern background.
And then crop it and paste on the Assignment file.
After that resize it and place it at Left-Bottom side of the picture.
And it is now look much better. This layer I call it Lantern Background 2.
Now, It is reach the Final Steps. The Fon of the Title of wallposter.
Firstly, I nid a Mid-Autumn in Chinese word's font.
I found a picture had it.
So, I use
Quick Slection Tool to crop it out and paste on the Assignment 1 file.
After that press
Ctrl+T to resize it. And then I place it on the Top-left side of the poster.
After that, It is time for English font.
I used the
Horizontal Type Tool to type the "Mid Autumn Festival" with orange color.
But orange color doesnt look good, so I changed it to Violet color.
Then, I type the Date of Mid Autumn Festival for this year, with magenta color.
After that, I rearrange all the layer and adjust their position again.
My E-wallpaper is Done.
