Today I finished and cut my design for the shadow box. I landed on the design idea of a spooky forest with an ominous demon floating in the center. I started off by finding good pictures for trees to use. Then I traced the pictures with the pen tool to get the shape of the trees. I started with the first lair and continued until I reached the back lair. Each lair consisted of two trees or more. The closer it got to the last two layers the closer I would make the trees to the center. On layer four I made a goat head demon thing that was suspended in the air to make it look like it was floating. The last lair was a jumble of trees as I wanted a background. The most challenging part of making this shadow box was landing on an idea for what I wanted. When I started I wanted to make really detailed trees that were individualized. When I finished I found that making the trees just scraggly and abstract looking made the picture look better. It resembles a tree enough to register as a tree but was not so detailed that it was the main focus of the peace. I am happy with how my projects turned out. All I am left with to do is to cut the spacers for the boxes so they can become their final form.
