Question

Something for the weekend - Part 33 - The Phone Box

Hi

The red public telephone box is a common site throughout the UK although there are a few less of them now than at their peak.

Some folk have bought decommisioned boxes and , according to Wikipedia, the sale conditions include a clause that the buyer "shall not install, provide or operate any form of electronic communications apparatus (as defined in schedule 2 of the Telecommunications Act 1984) within the Goods." So old boxes have become used as garden sheds, artworks, libraries........ anything aside from a telephone.

With that in mind, this week, I bring you a rather tired looking phone box. Actually this one is a 3D model I created and rendered, loosely based on the "K2" phone box  introduced in London in 1926. What new lease of life and purpose will you give this phone box?

As always, anything goes as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright etc.

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

There are no prizes - just the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun.

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

Thanks Jane. I'm looking forward to seeing what people do with it.

Tricia has given the OK for a Tech Wednesday covering a workflow using Blender, Substance Painter and Photoshop so I just need to arrange a date, layer in the year,  with her.

I found a new use for it , but I'm a bit concerned about the leak.....

Dave


I also found another purpose -- should I be concerned about the leak too?
