This piece caused some difficulty because I wanted the sign to stand out, which normally would be the area of most contrast, but of course the sign has to glow too. I went through several iterations before I decided to try what worked: cutting out a second layer of orange-red paper to make the glow sharper against the painted background. I couldn't find exactly the right color paper, though, so I ended up "printing" my own paper for the task. In the end it worked perfectly! I'll have to try this technique again in the future.
