To create the Composite image I used adobe Photoshop, a image editing package. To create my image I simple got two pictures one of Derry scenery and one of a T-line system in san Francisco.

I then used the lasso tool to cut out my t-line and used the select tool to drag it on top of the scenery. It needed some tweaking and using “transformation” I changed the perspective. To make it look like its on the move I added motion blur and I also shaded it slightly to fit in with the time of day. I also used an effect to make the head lamps shine.

In my second image I thought I would place the t-line in guildhall square a possible stop in its route. I followed the same process as above but used the burn tool to make the t-line appear as if it was in the shade of the guildhall.

To make the T-line model I had to use google sketch up and a number of its tools.


First using the rectangle tool I created the basis to my T-line. Using tools such as the arc tool I then created a line to round the edges for a more modern look.

By pulling the surface I created a 3.d block, which I later turned into a T-line.

I added windows by once again using the rectangle tool and the offset tool to create a frame to the window. I simply used these tools over and over to create features on the t-line like the front window and the circle tool for the headlights.

I added some interior detail to the t-line using the dropdown menu under components. I added lights and other fixtures to create a more realistic feeling
