A Starry Take for a Review of The Wedding People

Custom animation for client's review of The Wedding People

The stars really stole the show for this Instagram review post. My client wanted content that felt like a step up from the usual Canva posts for her review of The Wedding People. I started by exploring themes from the book but couldn’t land on a design that felt right. That is, until I remembered this incredible CodePen animation where shapes rise from the bottom and fade out. I felt like stars would work here since it's a review. That spark led to the final look, where I made the stars come from both the top and bottom, added review text randomly to some stars, and adjusted the colors to match the book. I also took screenshots of the background where the stars only appear from the bottom to make the quotes stand out better and made small edits in Canva. You can also view my CodePen titled Floating Star Background here.

This was an image of one of my client’s favorite quotes from the book, placed after the video in the post. Each following image has a unique background that I screenshotted since the design changes every time due to its inherent randomness.

Here is a another image of my client’s favorite quotes from the book placed after the video.
