So I want to fold my sticker image in a way to make it appear that it is stuck to the box. I’ve tried playing with perspective, but everything I try looks really off.
Is there a way to do this that I’m completely missing?
I would prefer to do this in Photoshop or Illustrator.
Answer
Here is an overview on how I would do it with Inkscape, which should be easily translatable to Illustrator (if not, Inkscape is free). I won’t go into the details, as it is not your desired program.
-
Create something like this:
The rectangles on the left are squares with a border length corresponding to the border length of your cube.
-
Group the top square and top half of your sticker.
-
Select it and then the top element of the cube. Then apply modify path → perspective. (This step might be somewhat different in Illustrator.) You should get something like this:
If the sticker is misplaced, mirroring and rotating should help. Alternatively, you can mirror, reverse and rotate the top element of the cube before applying perspective.
-
Repeat steps 2 and 3 with the lowerer half. The result should look like this:
-
Ungroup everything and remove the remnants of what once were the squares, if desired.
