Question

Something for the weekend - Part 74 - Send them packing!

Hi

I'm posting this weekend's challenge a little early as I will be a bit busy on Friday.

There was a rhyme in the late Roger Hicks' 1986 "Medium Format Handbook", which he in turn attributed to Benson's advertising agency. It went:

"If your client screams and yells

Show a picture of what he sells.

If he still should prove refractory,

Print a picture of his factory.

Only in a desperate case,

Print a picture of his face."

So for this week we have a pack shot of "what he sells". But the client has left off the labels and logos so we don't really know what it is. That's where you come in.

Can you add the labels, logos and anything else needed to show us what he is selling?

Watch out for reflections

As always, 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.

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

P.S. These were photographed on a non-reflective surface.

Barb,

I have wondered whether anyone could become desperate enough to add one or two three letter products to the collection, maybe in a vegan (or other fake) version.

What does this mean, Jacob?

Hi

Dean - Australian travel products ?

Rista - We're always friendly here - I do like your logo !

Jacob - we're back to the polar regions again with that one.

HothWampa - were would the fun be without reflections

Joan - I see you have provided a complete new setting for our products.

Graham - Is that a "replica" scene done in Dimension?

Talking of relections there are a couple of common errors we often see in images reflected in a ground surface. First, the reflection should be vertically under the real image i.e not skewed. The second is that the reflection is not just a flipped real image. It has a different viewpoint, which often gets missed. When doing the hard way i.e. transforming in Photoshop , then the warps need to be adjusted Although doing it in Photoshop in this thread, my preferred way is just to put them on a 3D surface and let the rendering engine sort it out, which is what was done on the starter image

Polar regions indeed, Dave.

It started with the memory of the comparable cool colour beverage in 62 (and having the cardbox that just needed some stretching (without wrecking it) to fit the bottle), and then it kind of snowballed.

Dave,

The top/left pair of goods reminds me of an exquisite post in one of the long winding threads in The (Old (Photoshop)) Lounge (I only ever had short glimpses into a few of them with their often more than 6,000 posts).

Some 15 years ago or so I followed a link in an Illustrator thread referring to the Photoshop Unblur Filter, and found the post which showed a road fading into the far distance where there was a barely visible red dot to the left, and then, after the application of the Unblur Filter you could see the large octagonal STOP signal and a lorry that had reached the road junction, and most importantly a house on the opposite side with a jaguar crossing the rather flat roof seen over the lorry (you could see by the rosettes, and the sturdiness, that is was no leopard).

I bookmarked the link, but unfortunately never included it in my archive of threads, and suddenly it was gone with The Lounge; so that is how I remember it.

Has anyone else seen it?

Modified slightly. Maybe I should add some labels...

I thought the entries would fly in for this one.

[EDIT] Whoops. I spotted a mistake when making the second post.

It's early days.

Nice start Trevor thanks for getting the ball rolling. One thing though - shouldn't the spray-can have a dark reflection now ?

I didn't even see the reflections Dave. It was a bit rushed and I was thinking it was about time something was uploaded. Hence I also missed the Skin Texture not being hidden behind the brush Softener bottle. It's going to have to stand for now, but I'll fix it when I can grab a minute.
