Today’s daily create had us modifying street signs ala Clet Abraham. This one kind of interested me because it reminded me of a few of the entries in a subreddit called r/MildlyVandalised, although Clet’s work is more professional. To start this create, I went to Google and looked at some street signs for a while trying to come up with some good ideas. After I picked out a few, I choose which idea I thought would be the funniest. I eventually choose the swerving car sign. In a mix of hunger, looking at the swerving lines, and wanting to play with the idea of the original sign, I decided to edit the sign to look like there is bacon behind the car. I took a good image of the sign and added it onto GIMP. I then found a picture of cartoon bacon online and used ColorPick Eyedropper, a browser extension, to pick the colors of the bacon. With the colors I needed, I proceeded to color in between the lines to make it look like a piece of bacon. My main challenge was picking a sign to use and how to color with the correct brush using GIMP. On my old computer, I used Windows Paint whenever I wanted to color something in, so I wasn’t used to all the brush choices I would have in GIMP.
