Metal March by Tsi Minn

Tsi Minn's Metal March calendar.

Firstly, i added the text "March" and also traced the lightning symbol which is representing the letter "R" in illustrator.

 Then i add the first letter of the days and placed it under "March".

  The next thing that i added was the dates in the month and placed them properly and orderly according to 2011 March's month.

 Then i added the legend's name and copy paste another one, changed to opacity to 50% and placed it behind the first one.

  The next thing was i copied a picture from google and paste it in illustrator. Then i live traced it and it came out as the picture below.

 Then i clicked expand and it came out as the picture uploaded below.

 I ungroup the picture and deleted the border of the picture and then it became like the picture uploaded below.

 Then i copy and pasted it to photoshop and placed it bottom left of my wallpaper.

 As for my march calendar, i also copy and paste the picture, changed the opacity to 50%, expand it a little bigger and place it behind.

 The next thing was to add the year in. I placed it right on top of my month and changed the colour to pink.

 Background. I illustrated the background in illustrator. I first created the grey background and then use the line tool to draw lines in anyway and then pasted it in photoshop and this is the outcome of it. 

Well, that's my Metal March calendar. Enjoy. :)

Classical February by Tsi Minn.

Tsi Minn's classical February calendar.

Firstly i added the text "February" and also traced the music note which represents "U" in adobe illustrator.

Then i add the first letter of the days and placed it under "February".

 The next thing that i added was the dates in the month and placed them properly and orderly according to 2011 February's month.

Then i added the legend's name and copy paste another one, changed to opacity to 50% and placed it behind the first one.

 I used the symbol from adobe illustrator to make my wallpaper more to the classical look. I use a brush to draw the symbol, rotate it, copy paste and place them side by side and put it at the top of my wallpaper.

 Then i added the year right on top of my month and changed the colour to pink.

 The next thing was i copied a picture from google and paste it in illustrator. Then i live traced it and it came out as the picture below.

 I then click expand and this is the outcome.

I ungroup the picture and deleted the border of the picture and then it became like the picture uploaded below.

 After making it silhouette, i pasted it in photoshop and placed it at the bottom left of my wallpaper.

I copy and paste another and changed to opacity to 50% to make my wallpaper look better. :)

Last but not least, i designed my background for the wallpaper in illustrator. As my theme is classical, i chosed a colour that would suit my theme and as you can see, blue. 

 I then added some texture using the mesh tool and select white colour for the texture.

 Then i dragged it to photoshop and place it as my background. 

I felt that my background was a little plain and empty so i decided to add something more to it and what I've added was i designed a typography background saying symphony no.1, eminor and fminor.

 I changed the opacity for the typography background to 50% and placed it behind.

Lastly i also traced the note that's behind the dates in illustrator, changed the colour to purple and paste it behind. I then copied another one, changed the opacity to 40% and placed it in front of the purple note.

 and voila! This is the outcome and the classical february wallpaper i did. :)

Hip Hop September by Ian!!

MY THEME FOR SEPTEMBER - HIP HOP YO!!!!

I started out with landscaping my A4 sized document.

Then i used to Paintbucket tool to colour my background my desired colour.

Then, i turned off the background layer and I used the Brush tool and selected purple colour and just brush the area i wanted purple with a large brush size.

Then i turned on the layer again and it turned out like this...

Then, i added the basic layout consisting of text by simply using the text tool.

After this, i added the text of the legends name. After much research, I found out that the Hip Hop legends is LL Cool J which stands for Ladies Love Cool James. Cool name huh? Anyway, this is what i did, typed the name then click the layer, then right click the layer then pressed outer glow. And i set it as shown.

And then the outcome came out then i duplicated that layer and hit CTRL + T and then resized it and placed it to what i see is perfect.

After that, I got a picture of a Vinyl and pasted it to replace the letter 'E'

Next, i opened Illustrator and pasted 3 pictures inside. All of which is related to Hip Hop.

After that, i selected all the 3 pictures and pressed LIVE TRACE

And this is the outcome...

After that, I clicked EXPAND...

After clicking expand, it showed me all anchor point, as shown...

After which, i went to OBJECT and UNGROUP...

After doing so, i deleted all the objects i didnt want and kept all the objects i want... Then i noticed that inside the breakdances leg, there was a floral-like deisgn and i wanted to get rid of that so all i did was select the break dancer, click, Live Paint Bucket Tool and selected black colour and just clicked on the white spaces.

And this was the outcome...

After this, I simply dragged and dropped all these images in Photoshop and after much transforming, resizing and playing with the opacity, the outcome was such...

AND THERE YOU HAVE IT!!
