Unit 2: Space- AJttCotE: Extract 1 photoshop thumb

without smoke

added smoke

Working on a thumbnail that I've did previously onto Photoshop in class yesterday, I was able to come up with this image. I was really happy the way it turned out especailly the rocks at the bottom right as I'd spent more time in recreating the look and effect. Originally I had a white spot at the end of the lava trail but this was changed as there is no sunlight or other light sources except the lava itself.

 To make it look like its in a cave, I've added some smoke to create the effect of extreme hot lava. But this creates a faded colour to the image and blocks out most detail. Another problem is that the whole cave is red, but I'd then I've forgotton about the whole hot/cold in one place idea. This I'm not sure whether to drop the idea or not as it is interesting to have both temperatures in one area or that it is more interesting and important to focus on one instead. 


Added blue tint but without smoke

So I've added some blue tint at the end of the cave to show the path and the cold areas. But I don't think this works well as the heat of the lava is more hotter and so reaching to the cold area should be a slightly different colour.
