hahahahahaha...unique idea author...gl

That is interesting, well done! I have one suggestion though, for the bevel highlights on your overlapped shapes on the wall, try using a different blend mode or colour so that the highlights don't look so whitish. At the moment they look like they're kind of floating on the wall. Same goes for the main cafe text. Good luck !

Awesome SBS, but the coffee grounds are so dark, they are very hard to make out, and the tree leaves look black.

That was the idea MAD, I wanted it to look like it's a 3D floating sculpture (letters and all).. and MossyB, if your monitor is on the wrong tilt it's very dark.. but the High Res you can see the coffee quite clearly, (the original back alley picture is very dark as well and the leaves were very black to begin with.. )

thanks for the help, I'm glad you like it

Very nice signage. I wish it was a little easier to see. Graphically very well done. Good luck!

Clever concept and great scan idea.
Eye can relate!

very nice work author and very effective final result...GL

i like the colouring in this image, goes well with your title.

Nice one author. Like the photo.

*sigh* what an awesome photo.
i love when i look through the old photo albums and find pictures like this. completely captures the essence of the time. and what a heartfelt choice of pictures to use.
the way the photo looks, it kinda reminds me of old school polaroid pictures. i can almost feel the crinkle of the aged white backing on the print. Good Luck to you!

OMG, I love this, author! It looks so authentic, as if it started out in color and has faded over the years - unlike your love for her. I'm a little fa-klempt. Well done!

Great idea...GL author!

Agrees with the eggman

Very nice; better with Auburn helmets on pins.
