I chose my can and label for my Photoshop piece because I believe that it demonstrates my ablility ot use photoshop in many different ways. I first started with a picture of a blank can. I used the pen tool to create a path. I then turned it into a clipping path so I could put it into Indesign without a background. After I had the can ready I made a square label in Illustrator. I also made the words, or title for my magazine layout, in Indesign. I placed both the square label and words into photoshop and postioned and sized them the way I wanted. I then made them into one layer and placed them into the same document as the can, just on a new layer. Once I had the can and the label in the same document I put the opacity of the label down so I could see the can through the label. Then I used the transformation warp tool and wraped the label to fit the curve of the can. I erased the extra edges, where the can becomes narrow at the top, and made sure the label fit to my liking. I put the opacity of the label back to 100% and then wanted to make the label look like it was printed onto the shiny can. I decided the best way to do this was by lightly erasing the label. I used the eraser at 25% flow and 25% opacity. This erased the label just enough to see the highlights and shadows of the can, but not enough so that the can's label looked fake. In the end I was happy with the way the can turned out, and didnt have to many problems making it. I think the hardest thing for me was first making the flate label. The pictures above show the steps that I went through to get to the final can.
