Shown above: “You Are Loved” lettering design by Celina Zhong (IDEA Grad 2024).

This lettering design was done in Procreate and Photoshop using some new brushes I tried experimenting with. I also used some fun, warm colours to (hopefully) brighten up your day! Wishing everyone a loving and wonderful Valentine’s Day.
