The original photos
The first adjustments I made using Photoshop started with select and masking myself to put each selection on a background I created using a new template and the paint bucket tool. The next thing I did was search an iPhone heart emoji (because I like the quality and shape of the heart) and a broken heart emoji, I select and masked them and transformed them to the sizes they are. Then I used the horizontal type tool using the arial font, wrote the text above, selected each letter to change its color and warped it using the arch warp. I chose the rainbow color scheme for the text because it's my favorite color scheme, the words themselves have more importance. As you can see, there is a small broken heart in one hand and the other has a bigger complete heart. The emotion I was trying to achieve is love and I showed the concept of loving yourself through your broken heart. I believe that you should love yourself through your mistakes and insecurities because you are the person you're with every second of the day. It's difficult to live in this world, especially when you can't respect, understand or care for yourself. My hope in this world is to help people understand how important they are and why they need to take care of themselves. I can't reach everyone but I can start with an example of loving myself. Happy Valentine's Day <3
