For the Historic Conservation project on Greenwich park we had to produce many perspectives of our ideas including some photo montages of the proposed ideas. I started by taking photos of the areas I wanted to develop with my designs so I had an idea of what I needed to draw. I then drew outlines of my ideas and scanned them so I could render them in Photoshop. Still developing my Photoshop skills these didn't come out looking the best...They ended up looking unfinished and a hashed together. There is too much of a clash between the reality of the photo and the blatant bucket fill colour. There is little depth to the pictures which lack added shadows and the colour is too saturated.
In the second images I decided to go with a completely hand finished technique. I printed the Photoshoped pictures and overlayed paper which I used to trace the image. This meant I was able to change/add things I was not confident doing on the computer such as the wooden maze behind the castle. I am much happier with the water colour images as they have more of a style to them. They have depth and convey more naturally blended colours. I feel that I might be better pursuing hand rendering techniques in future projects as well.
