Artsy Layered Template #17 (retired, but any aA template with strong shapes would work for this look)

A page documenting what happened in Charlottesville, VA, this past weekend.

Notes in Photoshop Elements 14

I started with a concept of segmentation and segregation, shaken to the core by recent events. I selected a template with strong shapes to express my fragmented feelings. I dragged the photo (and duplicates) into the template, blending in some areas, clipping to masks in others, flipping, duplicating, resizing, and using different bending modes. I likewise used papers from the Paperie to clip to the remaining masks and to blend over and under the images as a background. I embellished with the Asian Script brushes, which I used as a graphic sort of artstroke, and a few other brushes (in red) from various Artplay Palettes.
"segmentation and segregation" amazing words for an equally amazing LO ... your feeling is strong and it is coming through. Great LO! Outstanding, one might say
 
The horrifying weekend protest in Charlottesville is brought to our minds by your very graphic page. Murder and mayhem cannot be condoned for any reason. The idea of segregation is against everything our country stands for. Very sad times. Your page is outstanding!
 
wonderfully expressive art, I hardly have words for what is going on in this country :-(
 
Congrats! This fabulous layout is featured in tonight's Haps @ Oscraps newsletter!
