After creating the design in Photoshop, I often build a quick prototype<\/strong> of the structures out of paper to help me visualize how things will fit together in 3D.\u00a0 I have a house model that is 1 inch : 1 foot and create miniature paper scenery pieces to fit the space.<\/p>\n

One of the fun challenges for this year is the forced-perspective New York City street which will have the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man towering over it.\u00a0 To figure out the design, I began to build the forced perspective structures using paper and wooden skewers.<\/p>\n
