e-Wallpaper New Background -ORANGE

My finalized e-Wallpaper Background..

The orange colour had been chosen because it will make the viewers more attracted to view the e-Wallpaper because it shows the cheerfulness of the FOM's students, the lecturers and the staffs with the brighter colour..(FOM- It's hot) ...

Hopefully, the viewers out there will come and join FOM and at the same time enjoy the happy environment at the Faculty of Management...Welcome to FOM!!!

Below are the steps for adding the "Contact Us" and "Information of the Course Offered" by MMU:

# To make the Black background, I used the Rectangle Tool to draw a box.

# Then, right click on the Layer and select Blending Option.

# From the Layers Style Windows, decrease the percentage for Opacity, so the box will looked a bit transparent. It will make the details in the box more contrast and easy to read on.

# Use the Horizontal Type Tool to type the "Contact Us" contrast. I didn't not forget to select the font and font size that can be easily to read.

# I am also made it as white colour of font, which it will be contrast with the original background.

# Finally, I used the Brush Tool to draw some curly pattern, so the "Contact Us" part wouldn't to blank.

# Last but not least, I hope that it will attract the viewers out there...

# For the Course Offered Informations, I just made a simple design by typing the "Bachelor Of" in a horizontal style while for the "Course Offered" in a vertical style at the top right corner of the e-Wallpaper.
