How to inprove any image?

So this is a design blog, right? I’ve noticed smth interesting: any image instantly gets better if you add a heart/hearts to it. Let me explain…

Pic #01

Pretty decent picture, but… something feels off. Like it’s missing a spark. It doesn’t grab you, doesn’t hit you in the feels. It’s the kind of image you just scroll past.

But then…

Pic #02

Almost the same picture, except I added a few hearts and… wow!

Totally different story. Not a masterpiece, sure, but now it actually pulls you in. Makes you want to stop and take a closer look. Nothing to add, nothing to take away. It just feels right.

And all it took to transform the whole image… was adding a few hearts 😉
