Notes for Photoshop Elements 14

This is a piece about the United States Presidential campaign. I wanted to make a page for my scrapbook documenting the peculiar spirit of this election season for future generations, and I was lucky enough to have these screen shots from a music video that my daughter and partner are in. When I am working on a piece that is more about content than it is about artful presentation, sometimes it is hard to get started and to balance the artsy look that I love with the message that I want to convey. Later in the month, over on the aA blog, I will be talking about one way I evolve ideas in this situation.

Because of the subject matter, I chose to incorporate a word time bomb made with quotes from Marshall McLuhan, the philosopher who coined the phrase the media is the message. (Thanks to hoodsmom for the link to the make-your-own-word-cloud site at https://ozone.oscraps.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=357120&title=5-stitchesanniver5ary-artchallenge&cat=1351 !). I saved the time bomb in black on whiteby using screen blending mode I was able to knock out the background without having to do a laborious extraction.
Excellent and creative commentary on the current political season! Love the words in a time bomb shape. Definitely a page for the future generations to reflect on!
 
I also like the bomb shape with the text. Wonderful page of our times. My oldest Granddaughter Autumn just turned 18 and she will be voting for the first time this presidential election. There has been nothing like this presidential race in the history of this country.
 
this is terrific! a perfect way to describe the election! love the photos! time word bomb is awesome!
 
Your word art does look like ticking time bomb! Looking forward to reading your next blog post!!
