Capturing Astor field

Yesterday we went to Astor field and 'captured' it using three different methods we decided on earlier. I chose to take pictures, draw and collect thing's. When we got back I scanned in the things I collected and drew and put the pictures on the computer. I decided the main image's I wanted were the dog, eye and a mixture of different places on the wall. I used free transform to shrink all the pictures of the graffiti wall and line them up, I then used a big soft rubber to rub out the grass and the fence above. I then started rubbing away parts of lots of other images used using a small hard rubber because I was only going around the outlines of lines in the pictures. I then decided there was too many things going on and got rid of lots of the pictures. After I was happy with all the positioning I started to play around with the scans of my drawings and collected items. In the end I only used the bottle cap, the leaf (duplicated) and the wire. From my drawings I chose a stencil of Astor park (on one of the post the metal was cut away in stencil style saying 'Astor park') and changed it to white and added a drop shadow in layer effects. I then decided the wall part looked weird with soft edges when the rest was all clean cut, therefore I added two white boarders instead. Finally I added a layer under the 'astor park' layer and filled it with black and set the layer to 'soft light'
