I'm at work and the art director has me recreating a pop-up book style image for a magazine cover. I have an image and i am making the characters look as if they are popping out of the book in photoshop. I am at my wits end, i created a mock up pop- up book for an idea on different views and shadows, then i went out and bought a pop-up book, for some help and it's been 1 week of working on this and he says i'm missing something, I don't know what i expect from you guys but i needed to vent!
AHHHHHHHHH! that helped, I guess?

have you tried taking a photograph of the popup image that you created?
instead of using a photoshop effect.

yes, but that want it to look abstract... but they keep on pushing that it doesn't look real enough!
thanks, though.

so make the actual pop up look abstract but the photograph of it look real.

she's right.
you need to start real and go backwards. use white paper in the photograph and paste on a (multiply) layer to get the authentic shadow.

a simple but powerful effect is to give a slight gaussian blur on the actual book, and make the object that pops up super-sharpwith no blurs.
