Embellish with texture and elements
An image montage wouldn't be complete without a pop of color, text(opens in a new tab or window), or a graphic element here and there. Relay your message visually with icons and illustrations to represent your emotions, advocacy, or stand on issues that translate(opens in a new tab or window) well on a shirt, canvas print, or Facebook post.
