ICE Frozen

Lightwave Digital (PhotoShop Effects)

Lightwave Digital

In this advanced photoshop cs tutorial we will create a light burst coming from front and behind photoshop rendered distorted text. To make this effect we will use Photoshop layers, image blurs, rotate canvas, blending modes and effects with some common photoshop filters.

Lightwave Photoshop Text Effect

• Create a new 800x400 RGB file with black background and use white text. 
• Use a font of your choice and type in your desired text - we will use lightwave in this example. Make sure the color is white and centered on the page.
• Make sure it fills about 65%-75% of the screen

• We will now warp the text. Select the text tool and on your text tool menu select the warp icon.

• Set the style to Arc with Blend to 0, Horizontal Distortion to 0, and Vertical Distortion to 12. 
• Create a duplicate of your text layer and rasterize it. 
• Select your text layer and go to Filter > Stylize > Wind and use these settings

• Do this twice. 
• Now go to Image > Rotate Canvas > 90 degree CW, and apply the Wind Filter again (or hit CTRL F). Rotate and repeat until the text is again in its normal position. It will now look like this:

• Duplicate the frosted layer you just made (not the text) and go to Image > Blur > Radial Blur with a Zoom level of 100 and Quality at Best. 
• Now select your text layer and duplicate it. Then go to Image > Blur > Radial Blur with a Zoom level of 100 and Quality at Best. 
• Go to your initial text layer, resize it about to 80% of its original size and drop the opacity to 60%. Your image should look something like this.

• Take the text layer and add a Pillow Emboss on it with these settings.

• Add some color if you wish. You can do this by locking the transparency and filing in the layered elements. I used yellow in this sample.

• Apply a drop shadow to the stroke with the following values.

• Go to your background layer and apply a Radial Gradiant. Color 1: #354b9a Color 2: #111f52 and duplicate this background as you will be working on the duplicated layer from this point forward.
• Go to Filter > Noise > Add Noise
• Filter > Pixalize > Crystalize at 10

PENDIDIKAN KARAKTER BERBASIS NILAI-NILAI

PENDIDIKAN KARAKTER

BERBASIS NILAI-NILAI

Oleh: Pastor Prof. Dr. Yong Ohoitimur, MSC.

LOKAKARYA 11 Maret 2011

MENGAPA DIPERLUKAN?
Mengapa nilai-nilai “Pendidikan Karakter Berbasis Nilai-Nilai” itu penting di sekolah-sekolah Katolik?

• Perubahan Zaman. Perubahan zaman serta kecanggihan teknologi ini membuat perilaku anak-anakpun berubah serta moral peserta didik rendah. Perubahan-perubahan zaman juga mengubah cara pandang dan cara hidup: serba praktis, serba cepat, memenuhi keinginan, kebebasan, demokratis--> yang penting tujuan tercapai. Contoh yang lain; anak-anak jaman dulu beda dengan anak-anak jaman sekarang. Anak jaman dahulu sangat menghormati orang tua, sedangkan anak jaman sekarang sudah berkurang rasa hormat terhadap orang tua. Contoh yang lainnya, anak jaman sekarang suka nyontek saat ulangan atau ujian. Inilah fakta yang kita hadapi disekolah-sekolah kita. Ini merupakan suatu persoalan sangat serius yang harus kita cari solusinya bersama-sama. Pengaruh global juga kena imbasnya pada masyarakat Indonesia. Pendidikan bukan hanya membentuk aspek kognitif tetapi harus didasarkan juga pada pembentukan watak dan moral anak bangsa.
