Design Log:

I created this photo for my other blog, The Truckug Chronicles (http://www.truckug.com).

This picture originally started as a blank brick wall. The cityscape is actually a brush that I downloaded, and instead of painting it on directly on I used the "color burn" option so that the lighter parts of the brush would be lower opacity. The silhouette of the birds are also part of a brush package that I downloaded.

I wanted to use a font that was easy to read, but still looked like it could be written on the wall. Graffiti/handwriting fonts looked sloppy, and this one seemed just right.

I adjusted the contrast on the whole image, and then used the burn tool to make the darks darker, and the corners darker as well.
