Getting some elements together and seeing if there's an arrangement I like. I tried out a few different shots of the motel, but ended up going with this screenshot, I like it shows the left side of the building coming down and it shows all the people
Couldn't quite get the elements to work so used a BTS still photograph that was also used on some of the posters.
added a sky and then another sky pic with some clouds
Adding some palm trees and the twistee shop. Added gradient map and film dust layer.
Started to look too much like the original picture I cut them out from, and arrangement looks kinda weird. So started shuffling a bit, think its getting close for the front cover. Added color doge technique I saw in tutorials here Used it to try and add some light behind their faces like the sun is also hitting the motel. Will prob finish it this weekend.
