The real winner

I finally got my act together for the Uniq Fruit. I wanted some of the colors of Jamaica and finally found a photo of a beach shack with typical Caribbean colors. Here's what I did:
  • Pulled sky out and lightened it, our trade publications publish dark. It would've look like a stormy day, if I hadn't.
  • The foliage lightened too much so I had to pull it out and lighten it less.
  • I made the sky just about the same color as the post on the shack so I selected the color on the post and did a darken effect.
  • I took the photograph of the Uniq Fruit on sand (Play Doh makes a sand-like Play Doh that's extremely easy to work with but out the mess). I like the look that the Uniq Fruit seem to be in some sort of shade.
  • There was a 'hair branding' sign leaning up against the shack. I tried to use it and write on it 'from Jamaica' but it wasn't working so well.
  • The photography had Christmas lights dangling down from the hut that was distracting. I took out the ones that hung down.
