On the orange that wanted to be a lime

ds106 assignment on re-colouring an object.


Re-coloured from this image here:

Orange


My consideration here, as with the previous attempt was to start with an object that was already strongly associated with a colour, and then to break that association. As such an orange seemed like an ideal subject.

A quick search on flickr provided the required image, and I began to tweak the object colour in Photoshop (which didn't actually take very long). When done, I decided to go a little further and add the "Lime" tag at the bottom, as well as the text, just to add to the subject of an orange's change of colour.

UPDATE: Video tutorial added. For full size, click here.

  5. That's really effective- the color looks natural and surreal at the same time. And I cannot thank you enough for sharing your techniques in the videos- very valuable to us all!

  6. Stella & Alan: Thanks for the compliments! Actually, I wouldn't be doing any of the tutorials at all if not for redbaiters' suggestion of screencapturing site Jing, sometime ago (http://yeowtuj.blogspot.com/2011/10/on-reading-movies.html). So he's the real man with the plan! :D
