Ernie's Distracting Ad

Original background image before slapping it around in Photoshop. (software of the gods) This had the perspective and the background I needed to work with.

I wanted this incident to be just one of a long series of incidents so the first thing I did was beat up the sign support and chip the concrete base to indicate many had been distracted before.

Now, I created the sign, the reason for all the distraction. I imported the billboard girl and set the type, then rasterized the type layers, merge all and skewed it to fit the perspective of the billboard.

Now I imported the accident scene.

Hmmmmm, not a very good match.

After resizing, removing a lot of unneeded sky and foreground, I had to skew it a little to match the perspective and cut out a slot for the light pole in front of the crashed truck and adjust the contrast and light levels. Just one more detail to add now.

And that would be the skid marks showing just how badly distracted this driver was. Good thing he's only 2 blocks from Ernie's.
