Dispersion Effect Project
Your task is to take an image of a person (could be of yourself), preferably against a simple backround, and to give it a Dispersion effect in Photoshop. Consider the pose you want when shooting your image.
Shoot RAW so that you can develop and adjust your image before creating the dispersion effect.
You have the additional choice of swapping in a new background image if you feel it adds to the effect. Just be careful if you do this to properly match the colour/lighting/shadows of your layers.
Please hand in your before and after .jpgs to Classroom.
