What kind of effect is this and how can it be achieved?

Hello TeamPhotoshop,

I am asking if anyone knows how I can achieve a particular effect. I wish to make an image made out of loads of smaller images. The only immediate reference I have is the newest Eminem music CD

A similar style was used on the film Hannibal, in the beginning his face was made out of loads of pigeons. I guess it's a kind of mosaic but I can't seem to get any further information on the effect.

Can anyone help me out and if so, I'd much appreciate it.

Thank you for your time,

Yeah, I agree that it's a mosaic. I'll admit, I've never done one myself, but I do know that there are several Photoshop plug-ins available for making photo mosaics. I'm sure something like this can be used to make a similar image. Maybe something like: http://www.softlookup.com/display.asp?id=4768

I saw that, but the problem is - the link doesn't work. As in, the download link doesn't.

I am not so knowledgeable about this matter. So i have to learn it. Thanks for the post.
Thanks so much for sharing the post.
