How To Love Yourself Better

A how-to booklet on learning to love oneself better: this project was created a year into the COVID-19 pandemic in an effort to highlight the importance of self-love during a difficult time. The booklet features important practices and activities that are guided by illustrations of a cute self-loving character who lives in a house full of love.

For the written content, I conducted some research on healthy practices that worked for myself, as well as others, to boost self-love. This aided me in visualizing each of the spreads of the booklet and coming up with solutions that would convey the message in a wholesome and fun way. 

The illustrations inside the booklet consist of a minimal color palette of muted tones of red, pink, and grey. To emphasize the theme of self-love, I incorporated the heart motif throughout every item the character owns and uses. Additionally, the physical booklet is designed to be in the shape of a heart.

The finished booklet showcases a total of six activities with blurbs of additional information and fully illustrated spreads.
