At the start of this challenge I though that I would cut out a word in paper then thinly get it smaller and put the smaller piece below the first piece of paper over and over again to give a 3D effect. As I did not have the tools to cut the paper to get the end effect I then remembered some art I had seen of words that gave a shadow and decided to try and make that. To make this I thought of using an empty Heineken box some paint and some tape.
It took me about two weeks to do this, I cut out the letters C, O, O and L then I painted the cardboard white and the cut out letters in grey. We did not have the paint so we went to Mitre 10 and got some test pots. It wasn't easy to get the grey as they don't have a color grey they have things like "north sky"and "Wellington" these are weird names for paint to me. Once painted and all dry I then had to glue the letters to cardboard and attach these to the back side of the box and then fold the lid over so it formed a box again. This was to give the impression that the letters were shadowed and this is what I got.
Here are some photo's of it.
Where did you get the idea for your 3D project? Did you think about putting a light source into the box - that would look so 'COOL" too. You should try a scenic 3D diorama next.
ReplyDeleteI got my idea from a IOSM Ad on TV. Yea I think a light would be a good idea.
