HERE........I had done my 1 Malaysia poster with the theme of clothes. Actually there are a bit different compare with my sketches after I done some improvement but I still maintain the idea. I use the" People 1st ,achievement is main priority" as my quotation in my poster. As you can see the background of the poster I arrange 3 language which is Malay, Chinese and Tamil. This also represent 3 main races in Malaysia - Malay Chinese India , we united together and live in one society. Other than that, I use "Batik" as my clothes in the poster and I also arrange the word inside the batik. Hope this poster can bring out 1 Malaysia meaning for everyone.

Below I will share my all steps how I finish my poster.

I use Adobe Illustrator CS4 to create my poster

After you trace finish all the flower, open another layer and name it leaf

Repeat the step tracing follow the shape of the leaves.
