Really helpful minifig blueprint. gives accurate measurements for creating tac vests etc. I've used this a few times!!
For those that dont know or have never been to Chicago, you might not know that Chicago has some of the most amazing wide variety of building architecture in the world. It is also fitting and not a suprise that Chicago is where the first skyscraper was built (the Home Insurance Building).
This summer - 2011 - was our family's second visit to Chicago and taking the Architectural Boat Tour up the Chicago River for the 2nd time was a MUST. The tour guides provide an amazing explanation of all the architecture highlights of many of the buildings along the river as well as revealing the colorful history of the city.
Also, taking a double-decker bus tour throughout downtown Chicago was another must - as the tour guide gives even more sights and insights of Chicago's skyline.
This photo shows the Chicago River in downtown Chicago as taken from the top level of the bus as it drove over the river on Michigan Avenue (the end of Miracle Mile). I wanted this photo to capture the amazing skyline of the city's variety of building architectures along the river. From the vantage point of up on the bus - it was a great photo op.
When I got home and looked at this photo, I loved how the city architecture was captured but for those that know my passion to sqeeze as much artistic expression of a theme from a photo, this raw photo was not powerful enough for me. I wanted to manipulate the photo so that in seconds any observer would drink in Chicago's world renowned architecture.
At first I didnt know how to you convey this message but as I played with filters, the main concept hit me. A strong symbol of architecture is a blueprint. So... a manipulation that integrated the photo into a blueprint concept was my challenge.
The first thing was to duplicate the photo and apply a PS filter on one of the copies that converted the photo into line edges. Unfortunately the color was black so I used color adjustments to change it to white lines with blue.
As cool as the photo looking like a blueprint, it did not express the buildings' skin textures and hussle-bussle. Only the raw photo did. So I thought, wouldnt it be cool and also express the symbolic rise of Chicago's skyline if I blend the real photo and the blueprint layer so that it looks like the constructed city rises into the amazing blueprints of each building's architecture.
Notice the blacked tone around the transition. This symbolizes the great Chicago fire that leveled the downtown in the 1800's. This is a critical event since this fire allowed for the Chicago landscape to be wiped clean and innovative new growth of Chicago's skyline was allowed to emerge from the ashes without hinderance of existing city roads and buildings.
I layered the blueprint layer over the raw photo and then masked out the blueprint layer via PS brushes to appear like the skyline was growing over the blueprints like a texture over a skeleton. I masked it in a way that looked like vines creeping up a wall.
As cool as it looked, the BLUEPRINT concept was not complete until I added the blueprint paper that blurprints are drawn upon. I could have simply downloaded one of several blueprint paper textures from a stock site, but I do not like being dependent on another artist's stock textures where credits would then be required. So I created my own blueprint texture by using Mircrosoft Excel and creating a grid then saving it as an image and layering blue and clouds over the grid until I created my own blueprint paper.
I then blended the blueprint paper over the entire image and masked out the grid from the buildings so the grid was only on the sky.
The results..... my CHICAGO BLUERPINT photoart.

Each grid square represents 2 studs squared. With careful work I planned out each section, although that doesn't always work with LEGO geometry!
