Poster’s Ideation:
I would like to show the process of growing computers from 1960 to 1990 by using Adobe Photoshop CS5. I choose pictures from Google image as the background of my posters. In fact I want to show by improving human knowledge we need new technology. So the old technology must replace to the new technology. Thus I select a picture which shows a big hummer to indicate the old computers have destroyed. for first poster I show the computers from 1960 to 1970 and for second one I show the computers from 1980 to 1990. My friend (Sanaz) also wants to work on the computers from the other years. totally by these two posters I would like to indicate the old computers are not useful nowadays. because of this ideation I choose some pictures to show these kinds of computers had destroyed by a big hummer and by a meant grinder.

Now lets start to working:

1.  I open the Adobe Photoshop and go to new in the file tab and select preset, International paper, and finally choose A4 size for my poster.
After that I bring my background picture from open in the file tab. Then I open the lock of layer and by using “move to” button drag the picture to the main A4 page. Then I bring those pictures that I want to show in the first poster to the main A4 page. I start to do same process for each picture one by one:
1.      Go to file and open the selected picture
2.      Choose magnetic lasso tool to cut the area that I need to show
3.      Select the needed area
4.      Ctrl + v
5.      Select “move to” button
6.      Keep Alt and drag to the main page
7.      Ctrl + t
8.      Change to any needed size or place
9.      Click on “move to” button and apply the changes

By using this process I success to prepare this picture till now. But it needs more changes.



now to make a shadow, I should double click on the eye symbol and select inner shadow, drop shadow, Bevel and Emboss.


I go to image then adjustment and finally level to change the light and shadows color.
