One fine day, Madam Sariah asked us to download Adobe Photoshop CS3 and install the ‘powerful’ software in our laptop. At first, we were very excited to learn how to use it because we had never used it before. It took us quite a long time to download it. After Madam Sariah had taught us the basics steps on how to use Adobe Photoshop, we started to feel confused as there were a lot of steps to be memorized. Things became much complicated when we could not pick up what Madam Sariah taught us about. She taught us the steps as fast as lightning while we learned it as slow as a turtle.
We often asked her so many questions and even though she would babble a lot, but at the end, she would still show us the right way to make things work. The best part of using adobe is when we can crop a part of picture and paste it into another picture we like. Madam asked us to produce our first poster and we had to apply all the steps that had been taught to us. Tadaaa!!!!! Have a look at our AWESOME 1st poster of the year!!!!

They are beautiful, right? Awesome!! We know that they look amateur but we are proud of it. Why? Because this is our first product!
Next, Madam gave us another chance to try combining two pictures together into a poster. Again, we made another poster. Tuduuuu!! Here are our AWESOME 2nd posters!!!

They looked better, right? So, it is proven that “practice makes perfect”!! We love using Adobe Photoshop!!
We also learned how to make a film strip using Adobe Photoshop. Not just an ordinary one, we can also make it look like it is folded, rolled and etc. Since we can put some pictures on the strip, they look like a real one. Just like these two AWESOME film strip!!

After we were about to ‘master’ Adobe Photoshop, Madam Sariah assigned us to create a poster. This is the instruction:
“Students in the same group must create a A3 size coloured poster which is suitable for school environment issues. Using the photo editing software Adobe Photoshop, students must use the skills of editing, colour selection and themes. The criteria is based on the theme and clear message, original images, skills of editing and utilization of space. Due Date: Week 8(10 marks)”
10 marks??? Subhanallah. That’s a lot! At first, we kept changing the theme of our poster because we did not have the confidence to make a good one. Finally, we decided to focus on ‘children’ as the theme. For some people, making a poster might sound easy. We just have to crop some pictures, put them together and write a title. Actually, it is not that simple. It is not simple at all. We went through a lot of difficulties but, it was fun to recall.
First, the process of making the poster consumed us a LOTTTTTT of time. Besides, it really required high level of patience (which we do not have) since we could not find real water colour to put into the poster and we kept changing the colour of the background. The process of editing, cropping and erasing made us suffered. We consulted Madam Sariah for so many times, asking her this and that. We were so thankful as she gave us some great ideas.
After going through all the hardship, finally we have succeeded to produce an AWESOMEly cute and catchy poster. Proudly present to you…… (drumroll)
