Tutorial: http://www.worth1000.com/tutorials/162092/how-i-created-bubble-berry
The process that i went through to make this future artifact was kind of challenging and confusing. That's because I'm not a pro at using photoshop. Although it was kind of hard for me to do this I was able to finish it, and i think i did a pretty good job. The first step to making this artifact was to find a picture of what I wanted to turn into a bubble. In this case it was a basketball. Second, I had to find a picture of a bubble (this was easy). Third, I had to put both pictures together and desaturated the bubble (the bubble was overlayed). Fourth, I had to copy the bubble layer and put it on top of the already existing one with a lower opacity. Fifth, I had to Cut out the lines out of the basketball, mirror it, and then put them to overlay one with a slightly higher opacity then the other one. Sixth, I had to extract the basketball from the background, and repaint the background to the color i wanted. Seventh, I got another source of a bubble for a reflection, and placed it on top of my bubble basketball but with a really low opacity. Eight, I lowered the contrast just to give it a bit more of an effect. Now that I've told you the steps I went through to make this object, I will talk about the things I didn't, and did like about it. The things that I disliked were that It was kind of hard, and the fact that the tutorial wasn't really that clear. On the other hand there were many things I liked, some examples are that it was fun, I learned new thing, and I thought the final product was cool. Also, if i could change anything from my project I think id leave it the same. That's because I don't think i did a bad job at it, I actually think It was good.
In my opinion Julian did a great job in this project (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q7a2bSWecb0/TMXNeSp4xzI/AAAAAAAAAB4/lKdH8djk8HM/s1600/cat+julian+photoshop.jpg). What I liked the most of from this project was the fact that it looks realistic. Also, it looks really hard to make. Not only that but I can tell that he really put a lot of effort and time into making this. Furthermore, I can see a few photoshop skills that I would like to learn. An example of this is that I would like to learn how he made the cracks, he made it in a certain way so that they only show on the rock and not on the cat. Not only that but I would also like learn how he made it look like a drawing.
My artifact is suppose to be the future of architecture, It's suppose to be the a machine that will turn anything into a non popping bubble. Although I like this object, I don't think It could be invented during my lifetime. I think that because so far there's nothing such as a bubble that wont pop. Also, I think that it is way to hard to make a machine that transforms something into something else. In the other hand, If it was invented during my lifetime I would get it because It sounds like lots of fun. Not only that but I would make a lot of things into bubble just to decorate my room a bit more. This artifact will benefit the people who are getting it, in the way that it will offer does people a wider variety of decoration. In conclusion, this artifact will benefit designers and architects the most.
