Make object look as tall as skyscraper

Community Beginner ,

I would like to make a product, that is essentially a low box, look as tall as a skyscraper with the POV as if the viewer is at the base looking up. The product will have text and a logo on the front side.

For the box, you could either look for stock art or use Generative Fill to create it for you. 

 

If you need to accentuate the perpective, you can select the box with a selection tool such as the Object Selection Tool and use either Free Transform (Edit > Free Transform) or Perpective (Edit > Transform > Perspective).

 

Then you could place the image on your box and also use either Free Transform or Perpective to convincingly place it on the box.

 

An alternative for placing the image on the box would be to use Illustrator's new mockup feature to place your logo on the box for you:

Myra, Thank you for your response. I think I may not have communicated the challenge correctly. The product is the shape of a low box. I've attached an image of a similar product to the one I am trying to modify and an image showing the perspective I am trying to achieve. Ed

The thing about buildings is that they are usually photographed with wide angle lenses. They have to be to get it all in. And that's the case with your example, that's probably an 18-20 mm lens.

 

A wide angle lens expands space. It exaggerates the foreground-background relationship dramatically. Foreground objects appear huge, background objects tiny. A side effect of this is the converging perspective lines also seen in your example.

 

So you can perspective-transform your box in Photoshop, but that's only a flat 2D surface. You need this effect in 3D space, if you want it to look really credible.

 

So grab a camera with the widest angle lens you can get your hands on, get as close as you possibly can, right to the near limit of the lens, and shoot. That's the way to do it properly.

 

That's not to say you can't work this in Photoshop to make it look reasonably good. But it won't be an exact emulation. In particular, be aware of distortion of round objects. That can happen with a lens too, but mostly near the corners of the frame.

 

I'm not going to attempt to do anything with this one. To make it look good, you'll have to spend quite a bit of time, and I don't have that now..
