i have recently been researching about the body and what happens to it once you die, in hope this will lead me to some interesting visual ideas to experiment with for my practical element of my dissertation. 

'As the body begins to dry out by 24-36 hours, the beetles will come and feast upon the dehydrated fleshy tissue' 

'Most insects can locate the smell of dead flesh within a matter of hours after expiration, and some insects, known as carrion insects, live their entire lives feeding on dead flesh and developing more generations of bugs. Adult carrion insects, mature and capable of movement, will fly to the nearest dead body to lay their eggs inside.'

these facts above are quite interesting as i could use them to emphasise how a humans body 'would go to waste' after death when it could be used to save someone else life. 

i have played around with drawing different types of Beatles and flies below (Bodies attract two main groups of insects: flies (Diptera) and beetles (Coleoptera). some people have  a phobia of small insects therefore i thought by visualising and emphasising how bugs crawl eat the body when you die, this might repulse people and urge them to sign the register so there body will be put to good use instead of eaten.

i have chosen dull, subtle colours to create a bleak gloomy feel. 

on photoshop i mirrored and flipped the insects so there bodies were symmetrical - giving a more realistic feel.

i have repeated the pattern here- i feel by showing several bugs will make people more uncomfortable, emphasising how many will be on the body.
