Image effect in photoshop

[agentsmith20]

Hi Everyone :)

I was wondering if anyone could help me. I have seen a image of a album cover online with a fab effect and I would like to achieve this same effect on one of my own images in photoshop. This is the link to image with the effect http://beatsmedia.com/wp-content/upl...pen-Minded.jpg. Any ideas?

Thanks :)

Might be an idea to state which part of the image you're looking at re-creating. Are you referring to the squares breaking off of the face?

What Arrivals said But It could be done applying an opacity mask to the key image, masking out critical areas etc. then a new layer with the bricks flying out etc. It's actually not that tricky.

Square brush tool with scattering and varying hue should get you the pixel effect. Then it's just a case of masking off the parts of the face you don't need.
