Experimentation

Here I experimented with Brownjhons work at first I created a path around the text and then on the paths window i choose fill path.

After I found I could change the text using an easier and quicker method. I used the magic wand tool to select the text, after this i then used the fill tool to change the colour of it. 

This is my final image, i think this works well and gives a modern look to Brown Johns work.
