I finally found some spare time to finish the artwork for “Love is gonna break your heart”. And I must say I’m pretty happy with it! The artwork is inspired by love, life and the feeling you get after a struggle when you manage to pull through and do something great.

Typography

The type treatments was something I’ve played around with a while ago, but for this artwork I went back to it and did some adjustments to it. I modified some of the letters and fixed some kerning to get a better result than before.

The steps in Photoshop

Here is a very basic overview of the process in Photoshop. I started with the background and texture before I placed the type and added the girl. In the final step I’ve done a lot of work with the colours and light, making the image come to life.

You can find some more details and process in my portfolio or over at Behance.
