It’s been a while since I got my hand on manipulation business.. Recently during my free ample time, I’ve come up with the latest addition to Photoshop Mayhem series.

version 1

version 2

Okay, the thing is, instead of one, I’ve come up two version final artwork and it seems I cannot decide which version to go with. Version 1 is simple color tone and just nice to see, while version 2, I added some grainy effect and vintage color tone and a little bit of lighting effects which I prefer this way much better. version 1 or version 2?

so guys HELP me out here, which one you prefer the most? shout your decision, comments or suggestions in the comments dialog below.

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!

Adobe has officially announce the launch of the Adobe Creative Suite 5 to be in April 12th, 2010. Isn’t that super? but there will be no available CS5 software that you can buy during that launching date. There  are lots of rumors and expectations since its first introduction last year and how much would you expect CS5 to help you with your image editing more powerful than CS4?

well.. those ninjas from Adobe labs sure will have the answers and below are some important keywords that you might like to consider of what CS5 can do for you?

content aware fill,  spot healing, filling tools, patch-match, smart radius, layer style

To those who wants to join me to see a live countdown until the launching on April 12th, head to cs5launch.adobe.com and be among the first groups to know what’s new.

Are you ready for a new chapter?
