Beetle

This photo satisfies requirement 2, shape. There has been a painted Volkswagen Beetle outside our house for the past 8 months. Recently I noticed that it was perfectly lit under a street lamp, and decided that it would make the perfect 2D image from the side. I set up my tripod since it was very dark, and set the ISO to 100 so I would have a very clear photo. I then set my f-stop to 3.5 so I would have as shallow of a depth of field as possible, and then set my shutter speed to 4 seconds since it was so dark. I used a 40mm lens to take this photo so that the Beetle would be perfectly in the frame of the shot. I used automatic focus and white balance for the shot. For editing, I darkened the upper part of the photograph that originally had visible house lights in it, so that there would be more focus on the car itself.
