Anti-Valentine or Valentine Assignment

Happy Valentine!~

My original picture

1)  My heart longs for you, my soul dies for you,

     my eyes cry for you, my empty arms reach out for you.

                                                                      ~Unknown   
I chose this quote, because it is a little depressing and also shows strong affection of love.

    

2) My colour scheme is light red and pink, because it creates a happy, joyful and relaxing mood. And also there is the mood of warmness. The light red and pink depicts the feeling of love. With this colour scheme, I am trying to portray not anti-valentine but joyful and warm valentine. On the other hand, the red colour on top and bottom left corner and also along the line of the rose and arrow represents a strong love and also represents the powerful love that a person feels towards another person. 

3) The shape of my art piece is traditional valentine shape; heart. I chose this shape, because it symbolizes the love (obviously), and also it aids the mood of the whole picture. Furthermore, the arrow of cupid is hidden within the hand holding a rose and this represents the confession of love from a person holding the rose.


4)  a) Adjustment layers help create somewhat depressing, sad and sorrowful mood. On the other hand, it creates the strong affection of love.
     b) Filters I used give some rough, and broken texture, and I used this to show the breaking heart of a person.
     c) The fonts I used is Times New Roman, sized 12pt, Italic, and colour of white. 
     d) The photograph that is my own in this picture is the chocolate strawberries on the right side. I used this to depict the sweet love.
