This was for a school assignment, to illustrate a long(ish) text of your choice. I chose Welcome to Night Vale Episode 1 transcript. I haven’t done this level of photo manipulation ever before, so it was a nice challenge and a learning experience.
For the lights over Arby’s, I wanted something that would look more like a sculpture floating in the sky than just… lights. The helicopters were more of an after-thought, with a quick phone snapshot look.
