Photography started in the middle of the 19th century beginning with the Daguerreotype, 1837 by Louis Daguerre. These photographic images at the time where seen as magical and was only really accessible to the rich. After time there was over 3,000,000 by 1853 after its popularity grew. The long exposure times resulted in them being unable to be reproduced and where one off. Overtime Daguerreotypes where replaced by wet plate glass negatives which had negative images which where contact printed. As photography continued to progress cameras became better and better finally resulting in depth of field, this helps make the images look less flat and can single out a specific subject more easily than before. Different lenses are then introduced which help quality in images and can create different effects visually. For a conceptual design I photographed an orange and a wine glass and put them together with adobe illustrator. In order to do this, I removed the background of the wine glass first by right clicking and then selecting the “windows” bar, I then selected “transparency’, after this I used the curved tool in order to trace the image so I can create a mask. The curvature tool is very helpful as it helps me move around the harder curves in comparison to the rounded orange. This helped me achieve a seamless cut out. After this I selected both images at once the background and outline and selected “mask” this revealed the glass on a plain white background instead of the original one. I then proceeded to do the same thing to the orange which I found a lot easier due to its consistent curvature. After this I placed the orange into the glass, because both backgrounds are removed, they now fit together rand you would think the orange is actually in the glass.
