Hey
This was my exam piece for my graphics course last year. The question was to create a desktop background based around the theme of flies.
I used lots of textures of paint, bricks and rough surfaces to create a very dark, rough feel and modified the skin colour of the girl in the photo to create the impression the skin is rotting.
What I like most is the eye. I changed the eye colour so that it created a strong focal point in the design. I also turned the eye into a fly by giving it arms and wings and such.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated
