The Art of Compositing

Figure 13.2 showcases two different examples of concrete compositing. The designer has used compositing skills and principles to match intensities of value, basic transformations like perspective, and color correction to achieve unity. The image on the left utilizes light direction, cast shadows, and reflective surfaces to create a sense of believability. The image on the right uses perspective, reflections, and depth of field to achieve a sense of compositing within the style frame. Although both images are stylized to some degree, they feel like they adhere to physical laws.
