Poster Design

Step 1
Picking a picture as the background.


















I've decided to use the view of the lake as my background. I edited the brightness, sharpness and the color of the photo above using photoshop.






This is how the photo i picked looks like after editing with photoshop.








Step 2
I've decided to pick 4 pictures I've taken there to just give people a little "sneak peek" of the beautiful flora there. These are the 4 pictures I've chosen.

















I edited the sharpness, color intensity and brightness of these photos.





















This is how they look like after editing




Step 3
I moved these 4 photos to the first picture, which is the view of the lake and resized them.


















Step 4
I blurred the edges of the 4 small photos so that the images do not look like they appear suddenly but rather, they appear like they are fading in.


















Step 5
I add text to the photo.


















Step 6
I add a bar across the word "Forest Research Institute Malaysia" to sort of highlight the text

Flora and Fauna in Malaysia

What are flora and fauna? Flora can be described as a group of plant life in a particular region while fauna, can be described as a group of animals in a particular region. In this case, the flora and fauna that we'll be discussing about are in the region of Malaysia.

Malaysia is a tropical country with steady high temperatures, humidity and frequent rainfall that guarantees a green countryside. 75% of Malaysia is covered by tropical rain forest. Malaysia has a stunning variety of flora. There are about 8000 species of flowering plants, including 2000 tree species, 800 different orchids and 200 types of palm trees.

The diverse environment of Malaysia is a habitat to a variety of the world's most remarkable animals such as the Sumatran rhinoceroses, elephants, crocodiles, the clouded leopard and the Malaysian tiger, the sun bear, the monitor lizard, macaques, red and silver leaf monkeys and the orangutan are just a few of them. A good variety of birds can be found in East Malaysia. The lowland forests of Malaysia are important for the survival of wildlife animals.


Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM)

FRIM promotes sustainable management and optimal use of forest resources in Malaysia by generating knowledge and technology through research, development and application in tropical forestry.

I went to FRIM on a class trip organized by my lecturers and here are some pictures I've taken.
