Logo

I started with a picture my daughter took with my camera.  She was taking pictures of herself in the car through the mirror.  As I was reviewing them I noticed one that had clouds in the lens.  Very cool!  I tried to duplicate this picture with myself many times...fail!  I really liked the clouds in the lens, but for the logo wanted to break away from a solid photo as my main theme.  I took the original picture, cropped it a tad and lightened it a tad.  I opened it in Photoshop and used the poster edge filter and added some text.  I then created my film strip with pictures that I have taken and warped it.  I moved the pictures into Power Point and put a soft edge on my filtered picture.  I played around with placement of the warped film strip and filtered picture.  I found something that I liked and grouped the files. I turned the merged file into a JPEG.  I then turned the JPEG into a PNG and removed the background back in Photoshop.  This first picture was my inspiration.


This is the finished version.



This was a sample I was working with using 3D Cube Wrap in Photoshop.  I couldn't place my film in a way I liked so I abandoned it.
