MOC6 Day 06-Dispersion

MOC6 Day 06-Dispersion

Description:
Hello everyone! This is my take on the MOC6 Day 06 challenge: using the dispersion technique. The photo depicts a statue of King Kamehameha, former king of Hawai'i who united the islands, creating the kingdom of Hawai'i. Later, under leadership of Queen Lili'uokalani, the kingdom was illegally overthrown and eventually annexed by the United States in 1898. I tried to convey in my layout how King Kamehameha is losing grip of his country, his kingdom, his people, how it is scattering away. Behind him, the Hawaiian anthem is fading.
Helpful criticism is always welcome! Thanks!

      What a cool story behind the photo! Love how the technique really does convey the feeling of losing his grip on his kingdom! This is really super creative! You did an amazing job with the challenge! Thank you so much for playing along!!

      WELL done! Totally love this. The dispersion is not only done to get it over with (with many of us it was) but with a purpose and makes total sense.

      @Rikki Oh thanks! I feel ya - for me, today's challenge (6 designers) was one I just wanted to get over with, as I love to select elements and stuff for how well they work with my page or idea, not for who created them...and my page shows it ;-)
