Layout_Assignment 3


Hello everyone, what I have to update now is show you how the layout of the "TIPS" part look likes in our group website.

Click on the "" and you will see the picture below.


On the 'TIPS' page, there will show the descriptions of each tip. For examples like the best time to visit, suitable clothing, and also the currency and credit card in order to prevent something happen that will spoil the travel's mood.

Below are the description that i drafted out for the tips :

· The best time to visit

The monsoon season peaks are between November and March every year. Therefore, you can expect more rain and rough seas cause the resorts will typically closed during the time from the end of October through end of February.

Thus, according to the rate of resorts, the price of peak season between July and August will arise but the rate will decline when the off-peak season.

· Clothing

The clothing issue is a very important part to remind the tourists that Terengganu is an Islamic state and it is the best to dress modestly when in doubt to avoid any sensitive issues. Even thought there are no dress restrictions on the Perhentian Island, but the casual clothing would be more suitable.

· Currency and credit cards

The Malaysian currency unit is RM (Ringgit Malaysia). For foreign tourists, they can converted the currency at banks and money changers at the airport in order to prevent any financial problems because there are no banks or ATMs on the island. Apart from this, visitors are not allowed to take more than RM1000 in Malaysian currency out of the country and no more in foreign currency than was brought it. Some resorts and dive centers accept VISA and MasterCard but it is the best to have enough cash with you to cover your expenses while at the island.

Fifth Step_Advanced Layering


I'm here going to update about the fifth step of Assignment 1 which is called Advanced Layering.

This is my last edited e-wallpaper which done by last week.


By the way, since I felt that the colour of the building is quite dark. Therefore, i planned to change the light effect of building.

First of all, click FILTER ---> RENDER ---> LIGHTING EFFECT


Select the CROSSING style of lighting effect and also adjust their properties


This is the outcome of the adjusted lighting effect of building


Besides that, we also can edit the e-wallpaper by using the vanishing point.
For example, I want to add a MMU LOGO and paste it onto the FOM building. Below are the steps of vanishing point. Before that, I use QUICK SELECTION TOOL to cut the MMU logo and drag it into the e-wallpaper.



Right click the new MMU logo from the layer panel and select 'Convert to Smart Object'



Right click the new MMU logo from the layer panel again and click the 'Rasterize Layer'


Then click the SELECT ---> ALL


Click EDIT ---> CUT


After 'CUT' it, the new MMU logo will disappear!!!


Zoom in the building and click FILTER ---> VANISHING POINT


Use the point to select the building's part that you want and click 'OK'



Press Ctrl+V (Windows) or Command+V (Mac OS) to paste the logo onto the
perspective plane, and drag it into position on the front of the building


Press Ctrl+T (Windows) or Command+T (Mac OS) to access the free transform
handles. Drag the handles to adjust the logo so that it matches the perspective of the building.



You may also press the Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) key, and drag a cloned copy of the
logo directly upwards and onto the top of the box.

Even thought this is add some effect on the FOM building, but at last i chose not to put it on my e-wallpaper because it look not very match it....xDDDD

Between, this is my final e-wallpaper for this assignment. =)))
