We were supposed to find digital collage(s) or montage(s) as a group and justify why we find them aesthetically pleasing. My group decided on this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/-collage-/2382083933/, because we liked the effect of the textured wall showing through the skin of the girl. It gives a creepy effect like the ones commonly used in horror movies, where ghosts or some other supernatural beings can appear through walls. At the same time, however, the girl is rather sweet-looking, and she holds a bunch of flowers in her hands. By placing her in front of a forlorn-looking background (i.e. the peeling wall), the image also portrays a sense of nostalgia. As Jing mentioned, the image also portrays a sense of decay. This is a good example of a digital montage as at least two images (of the girl and the wall) are blended smoothly together.
This image is part of a series. Other images can be found by searching "digital montage" on Flickr.
