Sketch Challenge: Ocean Drive

The November Challenge of Scrap365 is based on a sketch by Tiff Firth:



And this is my interpretation:



For this layout i chose a photo of Miami's Ocean Drive, taken during our vacation in 2008.


When i think of South Beach, the colors turquoise, pink, green and yellow immediately come to my mind's eye, so i wanted to include those colors in my design. However, i used gold instead of yellow, 1. because yellow is a sunny daytime color and my photo was taken a night and 2. because gold better represents the chic glam of South Beach.
