Did you make these yourself? Or did you use photo shop?

  Not sure what the distinction is. I made them myself from scratch in Photoshop.

    that makes some sense. I just didn’t know how you made the photos.

      Oh, I get it.
      
      The red background is a tri-fold cardboard display for a science fair project.
      
      I also got some large pieces of card stock at Michaels (art store) for the floor, and placed them in the corner of a room where the two walls and floor came nicely together.
      
      Sprinkled some foam hearts down.
      
      So the gold, hot pink, and gloss white are thick poster. The white backdrop is a bed sheet.
      
      Lots of light and cropping so you can’t see the wood floors.
      
      All the text is Photoshopped in.
