Overall of the proverb project

Thai proverb is offering different types of meaning in a different way. Instead of using a proverb to motivate people,
In my project, the concept is about presenting Thai proverb that have meaning in the way of motivate people.


I use Adobe Photoshop as a tool to re-create 5 new pictures that relate to the concept. Now, I will explain how I use Photoshop tools to create these 5 pictures.

First, I used a selection tools like rectangular marquee tool, lasso tool, and pen tool that allow me to select the certain part that I want or delete, cut, and paste at the certain place. This tool has been used in all of the images as it is like a basic tool for editing image. The magic wand tool also was used to delete the same color of all part of background to select the certain object.
For the text in the images, I used text type tool together with adding the layer effect like drop shadow, outer glow, and bevel and emboss by choosing the add layer style to create a text more attractive appearance. The warped text tool also has been used in order to change the style of text to be as a selected shape.

Finally, I use add layer mask to create a masking of the several images to be merged and blended together. I also used a desaturated of adjustment function from the image panel to make the image become black and white color.

I have learn a lot of techniques and gain a lot of knowledge from using this software, even though I had a basic of using Photoshop but from this class I got a bunch of experience to improve my skill of using this tool in a deep and better learning.

Third image: Where there is a will, there is a way

Original images

Final image

Meaning: if we have the determination to do something, we can always find the path or method to do it.

Second image: There will be rainbow after rain

Original images

Final image

The meaning of this picture is that there will be great things after the hard time. You cannot experience light without experiencing the darkness that comes before it. This picture showing a combination between a rainy side and the fresh and blue sky side which means that there will be a good time after pain. The rainy side represent as sorrow, bad experience or anything that make the us as a human feel unhappy. While the blue sky side can represent the happy time, the good things that will come after the bad things.

First image: No one is too old to learn

Original image

Final image

 

No one is too old to learn means there's always something new worth picking up. No matter what age you are, you can still learn something new. The concept of this picture is having an old lady studies in the same class with young students. It represent that learning is something that we can obtain whenever we want. we must go on learning as long as we are ignorant; or as long as we live.

New concept

I have changed a concept of my photo. First, I have just thought about doing Thai proverb only.
But now I have add some more idea and change to Thai proverb for motivation meaning.
These are my new 5 images that I am going to do:
1) No one is too old to learn
2) There will be rainbow after rain
3) Where there is a will, there is a way
4) To be as diligent as an ant
5) Union is strength

First draft of first picture

Title: Chick in the hand
Original picture





Draft picture


This is a draft of my Thai proverb picture.
The chick in the hand means to be able to control someone on something.
I'm using polygonal lasso tool to select the picture of hand and choose desaturate function from the adjustment to make it as black and white color. I'm using crop tool for choosing only the chick picture and delete the background by using magic wand tool. I have put some effect like drop shadow for the hand and outer glow for the chick. Finally, I use type tool to create a text together with create wraped text function and add outer glow effect to the text to make it glow.

Concept of pictures

I have finally changed the concept of my photo from cake to Thai proverb
These are the name of the pictures:
1) Chick in the hand
2) Ride an elephant to catch a grasshopper.
3) No one is too old to learn
4) Push the stone to the top of the mountain.
5) Catch fish in each hand.
