Print : Family Biography | Mengimbau Waris Salbiah
Pages : 110 pages
Size : 210 mm x 297 mm
Client : Hidayati

It’s been quite challenging when you have such a small print project with such a big number of family involved. What actually I meant is about the previous print project I had which took me great courage and strong passion to get the job done in the end. There are 7 generation line up for this biography to complete and comes in Malay language with 110 colored pages. The pages filtered with matt sandy grunge textures, I also added some classic map of peninsular Malaysia as the overall background.

The biography tells us about a journey of one ‘Minang’ lady from ‘Tanjung’ ethnic group in Indonesia with great strength in raising her children until her last breath. The story was believed began since the year 1900 at a small village called Pariaman at Padang, west coast of Sumatera, Indonesia.

Dispute of misunderstanding between her family, Salbiah later moved to Medan, northern part of Sumatera and married to a guy named Osman. The journey to Medan took her 30 days to reach Medan by walked with all her children.

After the death of her husband, Osman, she later moved to Johor, Malaysia (during that time was ‘Tanah Melayu’) and brought all of her children Tajid, Noyah, Jo’aing, Fatimah and Serianin along to lived and worked in Johor.

In Johor, the environment and work wasn’t really what she expected, with a salary of six cents a day, Salbiah later moved to Klang, Selangor seeking for better opportunities with her children. She finally settled happily in a small village at Batu 12, Kapar in Klang with her children and since then, the next generation continues..

This Biography finally been printed out and distributed to all of Salbiah’s remaining generations on a small family gathering and I’m honored not because being the official designer behind all the hard works, but I’m truly honored to be part of the Salbiah’s great journey. May her soul rest in peace.. amin!

Photoshop has no longer been a part of every designer’s life, now Photoshop has been everybody’s favorite, photographers, retoucher, web designers and maybe your grand children. Today, Photoshop turns twenty and here are some amazing back-to-the future stories I would like to share.

The story was all started when one college professor named Glenn Knoll maintained a darkroom in his house basement. Glenn’s darkroom has brought some huge influence to both his son Thomas Knoll and John Knoll where Thomas first learned image manipulation of how to make black-and-white and color prints conversion, while John was attracted to Glenn’s personal computer Apple II Plus (with 64k of RAM at that time) that he had brought home for his work research.

During the year 1988, the nature of technology that Glenn’s brought home had influence Thomas Knoll, at that time was a PhD student at the University of Michigan and currently is an American software engineer, teams up with his brother John and combines the routines of writing graphics program called Display on Macintosh Plus. In 1988, the program Display has been refined to becomes ImagePro and only in 1989, the program ImagePro has been finally renamed to Photoshop which turn the program into a full-fledged image editing program and so call the original “killer apps”

About a year later, in 1990, the first Photoshop version 1.0 ships in February. Only in the year 1994, Photoshop version 3.0 ships with the ‘Layers’ capability and following with ‘History’ palette functions in 1998 on Photoshop version 5.0. Since Photoshop was first run with Macitosh computer, it was only first run on PowerPC chip for Windows version in 1993.

Unbelievable isn’t it.. so, this question might be interesting, which first Photoshop are you?

Happy 20th Birthday Photoshop!
