Hey guys! Great idea for a challenge. I was thinking for a while about how to approach it in such a small timeframe.

First, stats!
Time: 66 minutes texturing
Map size: 512x512
Diffuse map
Self Illumination map
Specular map

So, first thing's first. I approached the project with a 60 minute target in mind. This clearly meant that any feature within the sign would have to be either a symbol, or sourced from the net in order to communicate anything other than how I can frantically draw when pressed

So, I sourced a fitting poster from http://www.movieposter.com/poster/b70-838/Blue_Angel_1930_.html and began a deco inspired rendition of a backlit poster sign.
Detail was created through a mix of grunge brushes, cracked glass brushes, photoshop's good old chalk brush, and a baked Ambient Occlusion map (created during the process).

The spec is a slightly tweaked inverted, desaturated diffuse map. Unfortunately, I had about 3 minutes left when I started, so lots of love was left out. But that's the challenge of it all, right?
