Okay I hafta mention how I did some of these. I don’t use Adobe Photoshop. For this S&S, I took a photo of the backglass using my iPhone 15. These new iPhones have a cut-out feature where you can isolate the primary subject in an image, and either paste it somewhere, or save it as a new image. When saved, it’s basically freeform rather than a rectangular photo. I created a new document in Word, filled it with the orange, and imported the figure of the girl onto the image. If you notice her left foot is darker than her right foot, it’s because there are no bulbs in that area of the backglass to illuminate her left foot! Basically did the exact same thing with the “Strikes and Spares” letterhead, and imported that into the Word document. Basically, the rest is just created using text boxes in the word document. Scrolled through a lot of the fonts I liked and picked one. Then I imported that entire image into the Paint program on my laptop, and added the outlines on the perimeter. Saving it as a word document allows you to come back to it at a later time and play around until you produce something that you like. Like I said, there’s a little bit of a learning curve, but basically the more you use it the better you get.
