About the video: Dimensioning of the pieces

Overview

“In this lesson you will dimension the pieces that you are going to make. I use Autocad, because I find it more practical, since I am an architect by profession, but you can use Illustrator or simply a ruler and paper. The important thing about this step is that the elements, that you are putting together or getting, are not out of scale with the object you are going to photograph. ”

In this video lesson Mariam Palma Salazar addresses the topic: Dimensioning of the pieces, which is part of the Domestika online course: Set Design for Product Photography. Create a set with your hands to make original packshots.

We have a notion because we know the size of the portfolio, but we are not very clear about anything yet. When sizing it will provide us to buy the materials, to also know what space we can work from our house, because maybe we plan to us...”
