For this graphic created for University Girl’s article “Rom-Com Realities: The Modern Meet-Cute Dilemma,” I wanted to capture a soft, romantic mood that feels playful and emotionally warm. The illustration uses simplified silhouettes and a pastel color palette to keep the focus on feeling rather than detail. Layered heart shapes and subtle texture help create depth while still maintaining a clean, editorial look. I designed this piece to feel approachable and light, aligning with the magazine’s tone and audience. The composition and color choices were meant to visually support the article’s themes without overwhelming the content.
