Look Like Your Enemy: Create signs that confuse, astound and parody!

Step 2 Choose a target

Find a sign you'd like to change. Make sure it's reasonably accessible and your change will not cause any inadvertent damage or confusion. Then snap some digital photos and measure the outside dimensions.

When taking photos remember:
- try to get as close to a "head on" shot as possible.
- color balance your camera so your colors are as accurate as possible
- minimize any distortion by zooming in a bit. This will help avoid curved lines on the edges of your shot that may happen with a wide angle lens.

Just a quick tip,
If your photo's perspective is out, use the crop tool in photoshop, after selecting an area on your photo, tick the 'perspective' box in the tools options.
You can then drag each corner of the crop tool to max the skewed perspective of your photo. when you have finished double click inside the selected area, and voila! The perspective of you photo has been fixed.

word, the perpspective tool is awesome. it's also very handy for straightening out photos of large paintings you'd take at a museum.

that would work too. With photoshop, it seems there's at least 3 ways to do anything!
