Sustainable Future - week 2 day 2



Over the weekend, I created my box net on Adobe Illustrator. I learnt how to make a box net through looking at video tutorials on YouTube. 



Today, I just had to add images, barcode and texts to my box net. My beach hut model still hasn’t gotten printed, due to some issues with the machine. Since, I couldn’t take any photos of my actual model, I had to use the rendered images to put into my box net. Levi suggested using Adobe Photoshop to put an image of our model into a jar. I am not familiar with Photoshop, so I was not confident in trying his suggestion out. Instead I gave myself an alternative option, where I used Photoshop to put a glitter image I found on the internet over one of my rendered images of my beach hut. I decreased the opacity of the glitter image, to make the background image clearer. It is like a zoomed in version of my snow globe, just that you can’t see the jar. I felt really proud of myself of doing something on Photoshop without any help, applying the knowledge I have learnt before. 


 I might at a later stage, when I am more confident and more use to using Photoshop to Photoshop the jar into the image.



UPDATE

During the Christmas holiday, I decided to photoshop my model into a jar. I thought I did well to have actually done what I had said to do. However, there are improvements that could be made such as decreasing the opacity of the glitter. I could not really see the details of my beach hut like the stairs and the rectangular blocks, due to the glitter layer. Also, I could have done better at erasing the background of my model. There are still quite a bit of white parts in the outline of my model. I purposely left the white background inside the frame. If I erase that section, the background of the jar is dark, so you won’t b able to see clearly the interior of the beach hut. However, by doing this it makes the whole image look less realistic.
