Just how much does that afternoon cup of coffee at your desk mean to you? Those still moments
enjoying a mug of hot caffeine as your mind wanders before you set yourself back into your routine.
Perhaps dreaming of that upcoming vacation, or even just the weekend outdoors instead of in the office.
Cherished moments, to be sure.CREATE A “CUP-O-DAYDREAMS”
KIRK NELSON
PHOTOSHOP DOWN & DIRTY TRICKS
Kirk NelsonIn this project we seek to capture some of that magic by turning a
regular cup of joe into a magical daydream. The inspiration coming
from how the steam from the cup can be reminiscent of fog as it
winds through a lush forest. With a bit of compositing know-how,
we can use Photoshop to fully capture that image. This project uses
forest and bird images from Adobe Stock, but the base background
is provided for you. KelbyOne members can click here to download it.STEP ONE: Begin by opening the provided image CupOfDreams-
BG.jpg. This image will serve as the base for our project. The intent
is to convey the coffee cup full of daydreams brought on by the lush
forest landscape on the computer monitor.
