Choose your template.

Open up Malu’s Photoshop file and take a look at each template. Each design has editable features you can customize, including live text, color gradient backgrounds,  illustrated stickers, and texture styles. Head over to the Layers panel, which contains each template organized by folder.

Recolor gradients.

Swap out or adjust colors in a pinch. In Template 1, select the Layer labeled “Edit all colors,” which will open up a Properties panel. Use the three sliders for Hue, Saturation, and Lightness to adjust color settings for Malu’s gradient. Play around and find the gradient that matches your mood.

Adjust textures.

Turn up the noise—or turn it down. Adjust the background texture in Template 2 by double-clicking the thumbnail for the Layer labeled “GRAIN TEXTURE.” This will open up a window to further customize the Layer Style. Increase the Blend Mode Opacity settings for a rougher texture, or decrease it for a softer, smoother look.

Switch up character styles.

Edit font choices, colors, and style effects to get a totally new vibe. Open up the Layers folder labeled “TEXT AND SHAPES” to poke around and adjust color settings for your text and shapes. Click into the subfolder “Text,” which contains a different Layer for each letter, number, and symbol. Click any of these to edit the font choice in the Characters panel, or double-click Stroke to adjust the thickness and color of the outline.

A change of heart.

Resize, rotate, or add more heart stickers in Template 4, or move them around. To do so, first hide the Layer titled “GRAIN” by clicking the eye icon to the left. (This is only temporary; you can always make the texture overlay visible again by turning the eye back on.) Then, open up the folder titled “HEARTS,” and use the Move tool to adjust the placement. While using the Move tool, click Cmd+t on your keyboard to rotate or resize the heart. Once you’re done making adjustments, click the checkmark to save your changes.

Export and post!

Once you’re all finished, head to File > Export > Export As. Check the template(s) you want to use, or Select All to export all five. For posting on social, we recommend exporting these as JPGs. Then simply click Export to finish.
