Torn Valentine's Card

What is love? Baby don’t hurt me. Don’t hurt me, no more.

- Haddaway

Valentine’s Day is a very special occasion designed to test us all. If you’re in a relationship, it’s a barometer of how much effort you’re willing to make now that you’ve both let yourselves go. For those lonely hearts, the inevitable flood of heart-shaped everything is a gentle nudge toward a romantic bath with a plugged-in toaster.

In Torn, Valentine’s Day is marked with violence. We’d like you to design a Valentine’s card that could only be sold in Torn City. How would Torn citizens express their love for each other? Would they profess their devotion through the sharing of their vault? Perhaps they’d take an anxious angle and pray you’d never experience a fallout worse than Chromatic. Or maybe there would be a dark, sinister element to the card:

“If you won't marry me I'll hurt myself. I mean it. I'll put all my merits into awareness."

Please focus your efforts on the front of the card, creating a visually pleasing design that clearly references both Torn and Valentine’s Day. Designs which include the inside and the back of the card will result in real-life kisses from the entire Torn team probably do well.
