Description

This fun, circular montage is made up of photos of eight different signs I saw while taking a short walk in my little city. They include a stop sign, school crossing warning, red and green traffic lights, no left turn and no U-turn signs, and both sides of a pole marking underground gas pipelines and warning of the presence of petroleum. The signs prohibiting certain turns at intersections also have reflectors on them to increase visibility at night. I set the signs up in a row with a narrow, stylized street with white lane divider stripes at the bottom and added a blue background since any of these signs could or would be seen against the sky. Then I wrapped the panoramic creation into a circle. The process whimsically distorted the signs and emphasized the balance of the layout. The final "signs of the city" circle has a narrow black outline and is presented on a transparent background. For wall art, the background will be red; however, for products from apparel to totes to throw pillows, the background color is the buyer's choice.
