Methods II

To compile my three pictures into one figure, I used the inkscape software. I imported all three images (spider web with water bottle, full image of the ISB wall and openstreet map of ISB) and resized them to fit each other better. To avoid stretching, I used the “lock” feature (as explained in Dr. Brewer’s video about compositing), and changed the height and width of pictures instead of using the arrows to drag the corners. The picture which displayed a close-up of the spider web with a water bottle for scale had the width x height dimensions of 200 x 357 mm. The openstreet map illustrating the location of ISB was 400 x 314 mm, and the photograph showing the setting (brick wall of ISB where the web was perched) was 200 x 357 mm.
