Don't Fret if Romance Hasn't Gone Your WayBe mindful that Valentine's Day isn't the most joyful of holidays if you're not blissfully coupled up. For many single or broken-hearted people, Valentine's Day can be alternatively sad or celebratory, and it's a great opportunity for designers to champion this oft-neglected sector of the population on February 14th. Sydney-based design agency Re| took this idea to heart with their “Bittersweet Valentine's Day” booklet, which celebrates the ups and the downs of falling in love. Top image via Taw4.
