I Voted

Phew I worked on this for a long time - may have tried to cram too much on a page, but just a rather bad pic of myself voting (legal to take a voting selfie in Oregon) would have been boring :)

Adryane and Miki https://ozone.oscraps.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=436869&title=if-i-lose&cat=1351 have recently done some wonderful "americana" pages which were my inspiration. I had my selfie, two voting e-stickers, an Oregon voter banner from an email, a photo of some lawn signs in my neighborhood. I placed these on the pages and layered ArtPlay Papers below and MultiMedia elements above and kept moving things around. Also added a huge waving American Flag image in the background (inspiration from Adryane), set to Overlay at 40% Opacity.
Key to this page was desaturating (Add a Hue Saturation Adjustment layer, Check Colorize, then adjust the color sliders) my selfie, the Oregon voting banner (which had a ton of colors that were not red, white or blue) and the "I Voted Early" sticker, which for some reason was green. Then to make a visual triangle I desaturated the big blue flower.
The star strips across the page are paper cuts with a red Stroke (about 15 px) and big Drop Shadow (35 px).
And all those photos and little things put together make for a little stressful atmosphere
 
I like red white and blue and you saved some nice treasures, esp. your selfie.
 
Awesome collage of a important event! Love the selfie! It should be front and center!
 
It's really important to capture every detail so do not think twice about "cramming"! You're dealing with historic stuff here...and as always...you knocked it out of the park.
 
I like the representation of your thinking, your impression of what is happening in the USA, so beautifully portrayed but also with some humor, so great done!
 
Hooray for your vote!! Hoping there are many more!! Your page is amazing and captures the time so well.
