I really like how this turned out. This is another fruit stand sign I’m using as a background. I took photos of them along Highway 92, then cropped just this part for the sign background.
I used photoshop to add a transparent gradient in blue (think glazing with a transparent paint). Then, I added the grape graphic as a second layer, and in a third layer that I brought forward, I used a graphic paintbrush of a mechanical drawing to “stamp” the collaged image. I re-sized the brush so taht the dimension lines running horizontal lined up with the top and bottom of the grape cluster. See, now wasn’t that easy?
Then, I did about 20 more of these variations, and made them into a You Tube video (slide show), accompanied by my brother in law’s band Avant Gardeners. The accompanying cut, Walk It Down, is from their self-published CD Untilled (1996). Thanks Art!
PS – I did the Strawberries and Pomegranates as a You Tube too. Click here to see it.
