Starting Points for Building Shapes - Photoshop Experimentation


























In Photoshop I created some Custom Shapes, using Leigh Bowery's work as my inspiration. Doing this has given me a starting point for when I come to designing my buildings. Though these ideas are abstract and incomplete, I hope to portray a more darker and disturbing atmosphere within my thumbnails.

My very first attempt at Photoshop (using shapes)

Using shapes, I created an abstract image to show my ideas of what Esmeralda may look like:

"In Esmeralda, city of water, a network of canals and a network of streets span and intersect each other. To go from one place to another you have always the choice between land and boat: and since the shortest distance between two points in Esmeralda is not a straight line but a zigzag that ramifies in tortuous optional routes."

My very first attempt at Photoshop (unfinished) 2

Thumb nail exercises based on the following text, using the "brush tool": 

'The slender stilts that rise from the ground at a great distance from one another and are lost above the clouds support the city.  You climb them with ladders...Nothing of the city touches the ground except those long flamingo legs on which it rests and, when the days are sunny, a pierced, angular shadow that falls on the foliage'  Italo Calvino
