ShadowGraf project - using NYC sun and street illumination as free light sources to project shadow graphics.

MATERIALS

HOWTO : MAKE

1- Cut a piece of cardboard large enough to contain the graphic of the mask

2- Apply the graphic onto the cardboard, leave space at the bottom for the base

3- Cut the unnecessary cardboard to reveal your graphic

4- Bend the base and glue the bending zone with the Gorilla glue, leave it drying

5- Apply the electrical tape all around the mask to make it tougher

6- Mask done!

HOWTO : APPLY

1- Put a tiny amount of adhesive tape on the upper face of the base, so that the mask can be temporary attached to the paint roller

2- Completely cover the lower face of the base with the duct tape

3- Attach the upper face of the base to the roller, keeping the mask facing down, fix the roller with some adhesive tape to prevent it to roll too much

4- Roll the mask on the surface you selected

5- Enjoy it!

VERSION 2.0

A new, waterproof, colorful, light and tough rubber material was chosen instead of the cheaper but weaker cardboard.

A projected image reference of the graphic was used instead of printed paper, to speed up the tracing/cut out process.

The graphics were cut out of the rubber and assembled using a combination of Loctite instant glue and a slower, but more resilient, Gorilla glue

The mask were then applied around the Williamsburg area and onto the Williamsburg bridge in Brooklyn.
