Acheivements - I chose to use a portrait of Amy Whinehouse. The original image is represented by the black. The rest of the color scheme works very well because the high contrast in the green and red. I think the red in the lips stands out and gives the image a little of Amy Winehouse’s eccentricities.
Challenges - The darker green stripes in the background were added to fill empty space. I had to decide how best to fill the space. I played with shape and color, but it seemed best to keep it simple: straight lines and and a darker shade of the same green as the background.
