Photoshop II Final - Facebook Cover Image 1

This is the first image for my Photoshop II final. The criteria was that it would fit the current specifications for Facebook's Timeline cover image (851x315 pixels), and that it takes into account that the Facebook user icon covers a section in the bottom-left (which is why there's a black chunk there, I put that on a layer to be sure I didn't put something that would be hidden by that). And, of course, the unspoken criteria that we demonstrate what we've learned in class over the semester (I didn't use everything but meh, that would have been severe overkill).

Distorted is an ongoing project of mine, likely to become a webcomic with hopes of someday turning at least part of it into full 2D animation.

Took maybe 2 hours to do this one and the other, combined (more time on this one). Photoshop CS5 and CS5.5
