JFlah's Blunders

Had a blast creating this piece! There are lots of little pieces and shadows and such that was fun to figure out. Here's the two final versions and below that are bits and pieces used to create them: Final Bulletin Front - feet on box Final SD slide - no box Original feet didn't have legs in the pic so I found some random legs and put them on. Used surgical scrub green and a modern clean font for the title work. A co-worker took a photo of his feet with a toe tag I'd created for him tied to his toe. I didn't like the perspective, but liked the tag so I cut the tag out, reshaped it for the perspective I was going for, added shadows. Took another pic of a bow and added that and its shadows. Then I constructed the pine box from some wood pictures and then blurred it so it looked like it was far in the distance. Talk about fun! the original feet picture Co-Worker's feet photo Pic of the bow I took wood pic coworker took used to build ...

Stayed late at work this evening to finally paint the alligator part of that Preschool logo. All credit goes to God, who somehow made each brush stroke work. There were a few moments... ok, lots of moments when I wasn't sure this was going to turn out. Could've probably added more shadow to the left side of the face, but in general, I think it turned out ok and I'm looking forward to seeing it installed. Here is the final and a few progress pictures.

This week's sermon title slide was a lot of fun to put together. Pulled images from several places to make the box work and then I pulled images to create the environment for the box before working on the text and such. Will probably work on the text layout a bit more - am not fully satisfied with the font choice or layout just yet, but it's very close. Started with this image and a title earlier this afternoon: Just a squashed old box photo. Ended with this: This is the "almost" final rendering. Will be working a bit more on the text layout, but the background is pretty much done. Was fun to find the box, choose a pattern for the wrapping paper, warp that paper to fit. Most difficult part was deciding on the color scheme. The most fun was making the bow fit and putting the shadows on there in a believable manner. Not really satisfied with how the box doesn't quite seem grounded on the wood, but it's not so obvious that I am overly concerned about...
