From my newsletter, I have learnt to create stickers. I never knew it was that easy, just adding stroke on the image gives it the sticker feel. And if I want to go the extra mile, I can use the warp tool to make the sticker have a peeling effect. But of course, it's not needed, though I did use it for my post it notes.
 real like.


Also, changed my background, because of Ms Teh's suggestions. I realised that we did not have a constant theme, and initially. the background was a roped texture in blue. In the end, we changed it to an wooden texture to match all the other backgrounds, which were either the colour



Almost completed part of my haze precaution page. Changed the font as per miss Teh's suggestions. Also, added a mask sticker. The orginal image of the mask looked like this 

Edited all parts and added a filter to give it a cartoonish look. The colours brightened everything and matches perfectly. The sticker was for our scrapbook idea


From the picture, you can see the SAY NO TO BAD AIR stamp. That was actually easy to make. All i had to do was choose a font and add a border around it. And use an eraser with different brush to give it the grainy stamp effect.
And voila, off to go.

This is an in-depth explanation of my post it. First, you have to create a rectangular shape using the marquee tool, and colouring it using the paint bucket. Next, duplicate the image and change the colour to black, and lower the opacity of the rectangle.
After, use the warp tool to drag out the rectangular black part to let it resemble a shadow and I added a gaussian blur to make it seem blurry. Then I used the warp tool on the post it tab to make it look more real like.



This is my 2 different cover proposals. I still find them both very plain. However I was ensure which building to use as the wood building would reflect our newsletters wood theme. However the wood building will look too Matchy with the top of the wood part. Hence We decided on the normal building. I never realised how difficult it is to design a cover page that will look professional. Also used back the word waitrose that I designed for my previous assignment as I felt I was a wasted design. I created a more sticker like effect so it would not look that awkward and also reflected the sticker scrapbook theme.
