Time changes everything

As I get closer to finishing my degree, I looked back at the previous works I have done in my graphic design classes.  This Art Deco poster below from 2014 reflected my beginning skills using Adobe Illustrator.  I noticed some areas that needed to be updated, such as the black around the Laurelhurst sign and the lettering.

To make these new changes, I studied the original photo of the theater and removed the black around the LaurelHurst sign.  I changed the shape of the sign and added the neon glow.  The lettering was adjusted using the free transform tool and selecting perspective distort.  It made a world of difference afterwards.
