Hi

As another week draws to a close, another SFTW challenge starts and this week I have a triple challenge for you.

Our starting image is a book, or at least a 3D render of one. Can you replace the title, the author and the cover image to give us a new book?

Anything goes as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright etc.

Anyone and everyone is welcome to have a go - whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert.

There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!

When posting back your edited images please use jpeg and downsize to 1200px on the long side. This is to stop the thread slowing down when lots of images are added.

To download the image below in jpeg format with ICC color profile (sRGB) and without the forum scaling artefacts , right click and then use Save Image As /Save Target As (or similar depending on your browser).

Have fun

Dave

Since the orientation of vertical spine text came up, I have brushed up on and (literally) widely expanded my (mis)conception of customs in different parts of the world; the two shelves below hold an overview of (non) predominance.

Bits of Northwestern Europe covers a small minority scattered over the British Isles & the Low Countries & Scandinavia & the Baltic States.

What may be most surprising to most is that the predominance in UK seems to have switched from BTT (bottom to top) to TTB (top to bottom) in the last half of the last century, decisively between 1970 and 1980, but at least Folio Society held out till 1988.

The Companion Letter-Writer is from about 1930 (undated, first edition is from 1928, note the post box), and The Hobbit is from 1974.

And here is the back cover and the spine of the still untranslated Corn Conversations rotated. No words are uttered on the back cover, for pheasants are unable to speak Roe and roe are unable to speak Pheasant.

As it appears, the whole book can be read like a scroll, ever downwards first turning it as a whole to go from back cover to front cover, then turning the pages upwards.

Thought I'd try a simple approach to get something in. But, took a while to get it kinda right. I still need to enhance my perspective skills.

Dean we have had a few threads looking at perspective with links to some useful books in pdf format

Re: Another question about perspective

Some help testing my perception of perspective

But if you are a Windows user, I swear by the Lazy Nezumi Vanishing Lines preset. It makes following the perspective of an existing image a breeze.

For the benefit of those unable to speak (and read) Pheasant, a future Peasant Edition may be considered, in which case the translation (rather than transcript) title will be Corn Conversations (corn such as wheat rather than maize).

More about back cover and spine and orientation(s) to come.
