Technique #1: Dispersion/ Splatter Effect
The dispersion or splatter effect is to separate the subject from the background and then create a copy of the subject layer. One of the subject layers is then morphed using the Liquify tool to nearly fill the entire frame.The morphed layer is then hidden from view and using a combination of layer masks and brushes (splatter, smoke, glass) we reveal the morphed subject while hiding parts of the original subject. The result creates the feeling that the subject is somehow being blown away.

Technique # 2: Typography Effect
“A picture is worth a thousand words”. Sometimes, even the most complicated issue and matter can be simplified and expressed over a single image.
In this technique, you are not just adding some text over images, you will actually be creating typographic brushes to be applied to our images for a more creative and customized typographic effect.
