Ropley - Oil store part 2

Hi all.

 

Just a quick entry today. A new colour cartridge has been acquired for the printer and I've now managed to print a test sample of the artwork for the oil store building. After printing the original artwork shown in the last entry I felt it was a bit on the dark side even though it looked fine on screen. So after gradually lightening and some sharpening to bring out the detail in Paintshop I think I've finally reached something I’m happy with.

 

Anyway, here's the first print folded up into shape and 5p to give some idea of size:

Once the edges along the folds are touched in with paint it should look ok.

 

The next job is to create the breeze blocks that form the base.

 

Cheers,

 

Tom

Looks good! Your right about those edges though.But I'm sure with a touch of paint they should look fine.

To be honest the edges are not that visible in the flesh, the photo does enlarge them somewhat!

 

Cheers,

Thanks James :)

 

I sharpened the image quite alot and I think it's helped define things much better than just printing the orginal artwork taken straight from the photo.

 

Cheers,

Great work with that. I am currently doing some work with photoshop and printing so I am watching with interest. What type of printer are you using?

Hi Stephen.

 

It's an HP Photosmart C4280 ink jet. It's been quite a reliable little printer for the £50 it cost and no complaints so far, well, except the price of ink!

 

Cheers,

 

Tom.
