Ben, that's an improvement over your other entries. The door is now more believable, and the room looks very good. |

Ben that is just splendid!! Are you constructing the interior in 2D simply by vanishing point plotting, or are you using a 3D app? _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

In that case the turn in the staircase is really impressive. I wouldn't want to attempt that! _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 979: Room for rent
Mr Llewelyn-Bowen, who I featured earlier, and his style of 'TV Trivialism' rides on the backs of true giants. I have decided to move back in time and look at some of his far more superior and auspicious predecessors. Men who genuinely changed the face of the architecture and design of their times. It is difficult to squash the work of geniuses into Steve's tiny passageway. However, despite a very extreme and difficult wide angle perspective, I have in all cases respected the perspective and layout of his original but I have in some cases taken a few minor liberties with scale. Each designer's image is constructed solely and uniquely with ‘extracts’ from their own designs. I am an ex cinema professional so, in true Hitchcock tradition, as with the original image, all the designers make a personal appearance in their respective images in some form or another. So in historical order: Inigo Jones (1573 – 1652) was the first significant architect in England and Wales in the early modern period. Jones was the first person to introduce the classical architecture of Rome and the Italian Renaissance to Britain. 
Antoni Gaudí (1852 – 1926) was a Catalan architect and designer from Spain with a unique distincive style, marked by the use of colours and of ceramics. His work has global popularity and his masterpiece, the still-incomplete Sagrada Família cathedral in Barcelona, is the most-visited monument in Spain. 
Belgium is considered the birthplace of the Art Nouveau movement and the architect and designer Victor Horta (1861 - 1947) was one of its founders. His own home, in Brussels, now a museum, is one of the first and finest art nouveau houses to be found anywhere. 
The Scotsman Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868 - 1928 ) was another notable Art Nouveau architect and designer. Together with his wife Margaret Macdonald he founded the Glascow Style. 
Walter Gropius (1883 – 1969) was a German-American architect who, along with Alvar Aalto, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright, is widely regarded as one of the pioneering masters of modernist architecture. He was one of the founders of Bauhaus in Weimar (1919). 
Somehow I am not sure that any of these great men would thank me for cannibalising their designs. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Splendid stuff David. Lovely entries all. Nearly had no time for this 1. Hope its not too dark. I had to do it on my work pc and the screen is not calibrated. My pc at home is reaching its end.

Re: Challenge 979: Room for rent
My monitor is properly calibrated with an external calibrator and it's dark, but perfectly so. Just right. Lovely work Dwindt. You have a good feeling for light. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 979: Room for rent
They were interesting to do because each one presented a different set of problems. I attempted a few others (Pugin, Ghery, Hadid and Corbusier) but simply couldn't find a way to fit their work into such a confined space. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

While lunching at my favourite coffee shop I noticed it was a 'hole in the wall' just like the challenge |

Is that the owner offering us a cup? The people are all very convincingly posed. Love the dog. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Yes that's the owner - he multitasks - chef - barista - waiter. In fact if you look in the store he is also operating the coffee machine. Here is from his point of view.  |

Re: Challenge 979: Room for rent
Some challenges leave me cold and some just grab me. This is one that did! It has been quite demanding but surprisingly fun and rewarding. I've really enjoyed it. I am, however, stopping here. Although I have moved it outside this respects the perspective and scale of Steve's original completely. 
This one respects the perspective and construction but I have cheated the scale. 
And here I stop for the week ............... _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |
