Scanning textures and Rubbing's of textures

Today we went of in groups to take rubbing's of surfaces for interesting textures and also scanned some weird and unusual things like lemons ,leafs and cabbages.

For the rubbing's I had a plastic cup, some different wall surfaces, number pads of the vending machine and photo copier and some signs. when we got back we scanned in the  graphite rubbbing's and uploaded them onto photo shop.

i found out that , finding materials to can is faster then recreating the look on photo shop. It was easy to add the effect to the words or anything.

These are the scans .

The Images would not load up


This will be useful to create a unique logo, using the textures in the background after playing around with the properties and playing with saturation. also it could be possible to use it as a textured letter fill. giving it a unique fill.
This also gave me the idea for. if i wanted a background if i had a nature shop i could just scan in leaves and make that the background of the logo or banner, not only just taking textures from scanning but also images.

For the instance like this. This was made with a cabbage leaf and changing the properties hue saturation , and a few other things and then putting text on top creating an example of what it could be like
