Celebrate the person behind the milestone

Celebrate, Curiosity, Persistence and Friendship are some of the words in this star-shaped example. Use them as a starting point for a graduation card or print, then add the details you want to remember: a name, a year, a shared experience or words of encouragement for what comes next.

Decide whether the design is for one person, a class or the event itself. That will help you choose the main phrase and its weight. A qualification title or longer inscription may work better in a caption outside the star, where the words can be read in their intended order.

Give the main message some space

Next chapter stays together as a phrase and has the largest sample weight. You can keep that message or choose another focus. For a group gift, decide whether repeated suggestions should be merged or each contribution should start at the same weight. Check the whole list before generating the layout.

Make sure the important words are there

  • Check the name, year and qualification against your intended inscription.
  • Keep an important phrase together, even if it needs a wider shape.
  • Read the star's unplaced report and check the smallest lettering.
  • Put a longer congratulations message beside the artwork.

The example uses A4 portrait proportions, 210 × 297 mm. Leave room for a frame or mount and inspect the downloaded artwork at that size. For a square image to share digitally, generate another layout from the same list. Changing the proportions can affect which words fit, so check the new report.

Keep the project JSON with the finished artwork so a last-minute correction is straightforward. Save separate copies for different recipients or sizes. A new seed gives you another arrangement to compare, while a palette change keeps the words exactly where they are.
