Here’s a quick example how we create a conceptual illustration. Thes following figures are a great way to visualize how an object may appear prior to production.
 |
We start out with a rough image similar to the figure on the left that we clip or trim from its original background. |
| Minor touch-ups are image corrections are applied to the photograph which removes any unnecessary components or imperfections. The important objects are clipped separately (in this case the products), then using a special technique the shadows and highlights are extracted and moved to separate layers. | |
| Next we create and apply the artwork. We design with the shadows and highlights overlaying the image, but this figure shows essentially how the art looks without any shading or lighting. | |
| Lastly, we combine the artwork with the shadows, highlights and details from the original product to produce the final composited image! AD¬ |
