empty signs

Original image

step 1 of 16

I cut out the signs using mask and made a copy, applying the msk to the copy and separating the signs via copy.

step 2 of 16

I used one of the signs to create a row, making copies of it and placing them side by side. Then I put the layers into a folder named "SIGNS 1".

step 3 of 16

I made three copies of the folder "SIGNS 1" to create more three rows.

step 4 of 16

Then I used one of the white signs.

step 5 of 16

I put everything into a folder named "ALL SIGNS" and made a copy of this folder. I converted it to smart object, flipped it vertically and work on perspective.

step 6 of 16

Using four copies of a white sign, I created a cross and put the layers into a folder named "SIGNS 5".

step 7 of 16

Then I made five copies copies of the folder "SIGNS 5" and turned the copies 15, 30, 45, 60 and 75 degress respectivelly. I put all those folders into a folder named "ALL SIGNS 5".

step 8 of 16

Then I created a white background and a blue gradient layer for the sky.

step 9 of 16

I created a new layer to paint a white circle to hide the inner lines of the "sun".

step 10 of 16

In two different layers I painted the white shine behind the "sun" and the yellow one in front of it.

step 11 of 16

Then I applied white gradient to the signs and overlay blending to it.

step 12 of 16

Then I placed the guitar man in a new layer and rasterized it.

step 13 of 16

I got rid og the background and made a copy of the image, applying the mask and reducing its size.

step 14 of 16

I created a new layer, Ctrl-clicked the small guitar man and filled the selection with black.

step 15 of 16

I created the guitar man's shadow.

step 16 of 16

At the top I created a colour fill adjustment layer, applying overlay blending.
