Transformation:

Started with the background layer image and I took black paint around the edges to give it a dark feeling. Copied the text and man onto new layer. Blurred the arrow and added 'glowing edges' filter. Smart Sharpened the text and man of the sign. On the final layer added the fajitas, scaled them larger, and filtered with 'accented edges.'
