Wow! I actually didn't know what to type for this one at first... I needed to take it in for a bit!

You've captured the theme of the song brilliantly, I actually changed my play list to listen to it and look at this for a minute...

The colour scheme is great, and the manipulation of the original stock is awesome. The hazy type effect at the top is great!

And those forms and shape in the foreground are beautifully rendered, they look so crisp to contrast the organic background!

To notch dude, think this is gonna be my wallpaper for a while!

Thanks a bunch man, I'm glad you like it. I'm also really happy you think it matches so well, because I thought it did the job nicely too. I remember the first time I heard Signs, I couldn't stop smiling, it's just such a beautiful song.

The more "chilled" style Bloc Party songs are great... "So Here We Are" being a personal favourite...

Yeah for sure. I love that song. I think i did a better job of making an artwork out of this one though haha.

Now that's original! Wouldn't change a thing about this, it's so well done. I like how you balanced your effects so as to take the best advantage of the photo. Breaking up the sign and creating this image was great. We get that it's a street sign, but we have to take it in to get it. :salute:

Thanks man. Haha but I didn't try to make a street sign more just abstract shapes. Now that you have mentioned it I can also see that. It's amazing how people interpret everything so uniquely! I actually based this design on a song, "Signs" by Bloc Party. I really suggest you listen to it, as i tried to capture the mood it conveys in this image.
:iconmafeo:
I will. Always cool to see what inspired the art. It really does look like an abstract street sign, well at least to me. I thought it was original.

You spend the first five years trying to get with the plan and the next five years trying to be with your friends again.
