My suggested class theme will be "Classic Outer Space Movie Posters".
The grand prize for best lenticular poster will be an Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection.
The images above is a simulation of the type of 3D lenticular image that you will create in class. It is viewed without the use of any kind of 3D classes. Some limited animation will also be possible.
Welcome to Russell Brown's Adobe Photoshop Party!
If you're ready for a truly creative, hands-on experience, then this is the class you've been waiting for. Just bring some "out of this world imagination" and your own computer!
You may remember the coveted “winking eye” prize from boxes of Cracker Jacks. Easily identified by their textured surfaces, lenticular prints can now be made with layered Photoshop files, desktop inkjet printers, and the application of commercially available lenticular lenses. In this special Adobe Photoshop CS3 class we will cover the techniques behind masking and layering images to create the illusion of 3-dimensionality with the help of an application called, Power Illusion. Adobe’s senior art director, the ever-entertaining “Dr. Brown” will guide you through this amazing adventure. All supplies necessary to create your very own Microlens, 16 X 20 inch lenticular image are included in this class. Because of the limited time for this event it will be important for you to prepare your layered documents before class starts. To help you with this process, I have created a class overview and series of masking tutorials. Please be sure and review all this information. I will also be presenting some of this same material in class as time permits.
What you will learn in class:
- Advanced masking techniques in Adobe Photoshop CS3
- Preparing 2D Photoshop files for lenticular imaging
- Depth map creation techniques for converting 2D images to 3D.
- Lenticular aligning and lamination techniques with ink jet printers
- Learn how to win cool Adobe prizes by just being creative!
