Hexagons Arrive

Doing a very quick test of putting a vector graphics overlay on top of a random face image, I noticed something immediately. The text has edges that are just too sharp. This can be fixed by blending/blurring, but there is just something so wrong looking about it being hi-res. If this is being created by a virus, shouldn't it look more organic?

Thinking further on this I decided to break the basic graphics up into modular bits, so it would look more like the virus is cobbling these images together from bits. To maintain the high-tech angle, I thought hexagons would go nicely. Hexagons and me have gotten along well lately.
