I create another layer of the picture and overlap onto of the original.
This is to make the red color more dark and nice.

I create a new layer. I used Paint Bucket tool and gradient tool to make the gradient of the dark red color.

In this picture, i create a new layer again and applied gradient on top left of the picture. Red and Dark gradient.

I create a new layer. I used gradient tool( black color) to make a gradient on the picture. I also used overlay on that gradient. I place it at top left and bottom right of the picture.

I placed these images in a suitable position.

I used lasso tool to cut out the war tank from the original picture. i applied feather, opacity and fill on the tank. I do play some brightness on it. I desaturated it and placed it in the middle.

The above image is i copy from war scene picture. I again used lasso tool and feather to paste on the photoshop. i desaturated it and applied some brightness. i combined this image with the death body image together.

I download this two victim picture and i used lasso tool to cut it over to Photoshop.
I apply feather,opacity and fill on it. I play on desaturated to make it black and white color.
i do play on the brightness too...
I combined the both picture together to make it become one image.

This is a death body and building images which i copy from a war scene2 picture. i used the same tool , lasso tool, desaturated, opacity and fill, feather and i do apply some brightness on it.

I copied and pasted again from original picture. As the same as the aircraft, i used lasso tool, feather and some opacity and fill on the picture. I play on the desaturated tool too.

In this step, i copied and pasted the image of air craft into photoshop.
Next, i used lasso tool to cut the air craft from the original picture, after that, i applied feather to make it more blur on the border. i inverse the lasso tool and deleted the unused part of the image.

Next, i createa new layer of the air craft, and change the size of the 3 air crafts. i also desaturated the air crafts and i applied some opacity and fill on the air craft.

I overlapped this background on the 1st background to make it look more darker and nice.

1st step of my design

This is the 1st background i used for my assignment. i copied and pasted it on a white background(main)

My 1st Design/Sketch with Photoshop

Singer - A 10 years old kid,Declan Galbraith(When he sang that song, now he's 16 years old)
About the song
On December 9th 2002, the largest choir in history, drawn from all parts of the UK and Ireland joined Declan to sing 'Tell Me Why' for a Guinness World Record. The event was organized by 'Young Voices in Concert'. Funds from the record-breaking attempt were donated to the Sargent Cancer Care for Children.

LYRIC
In my dream,children sing
A song of love for every boy and girl
　　The sky is blue and fields are green:
　　And laughter is the language of the world
　　Then I wake and all I see
　　Is a world full of people in need 　
　　Tell me why(why) does it have to be like this?
　　Tell me why (why) is there something I have missed?
　　Tell me why (why) cos I don't understand
　　When so many need somebody
　　We don't give a helping hand
Tell me why?

　　Every day I ask myself
　　What will I have to do to be a man?
　　Do I have to stand and fight
　　To prove to everybody who I am?
　　Is that what my life is for
　　To waste in a world full of war?
Tell me why(why) does it have to be like this?
　　Tell me why (why) is there something I have missed?
　　Tell me why (why) cos I don't understand
　　When so many need somebody
　　We don't give a helping hand
Tell me why?

　　(children)tell me why?(declan)tell me why?
　　(children)tell me why?(declan)tell me why?
　　(together) just tell me why, why, why?
Tell me why(why) does it have to be like this?
　　Tell me why (why) is there something I have missed?
　　Tell me why (why) cos I don't understand
　　When so many need somebody
　　We don't give a helping hand
　　Tell me why (why,why,does the tiger run)
　　Tell me why(why why do we shoot the gun)
　　Tell me why (why,why do we never learn)
　　Can someone tell us why we let the forest burn? (why,why do we say we care)
　　Tell me why(why,why do we stand and stare)
　　Tell me why(why,why do the dolphins cry)
　　Can someone tell us why we let the ocean die? (why,why if we're all the same)
　　Tell me why (why,why do we pass the blame)

　　Tell me why (why,why does it never end)
　　Can someone tell us why we cannot just be friends?

Why why (do we close our eyes)

Why why (do we believe in life)

Why why (do we fight for love)
Can someone tell us why we still don't understand?

REASON for Choosing This Song

The reason for i choosing this song is because it related to cancer in children.
The song tell that children suffer in cancer while no one to help, by that time the world is full of WAR.

The passage i choose from the lyric :
　 Every day I ask myself
　　What will I have to do to be a man?
　　Do I have to stand and fight
　　To prove to everybody who I am?
　　Is that what my life is for
　　To waste in a world full of war?
