A whimsical watercolor children’s book illustration project created for young readers aged 4–7.
The Leaf That Didn’t Want to Fall follows Lio, a small autumn leaf who is afraid to let go of the tree he calls home. Through a gentle journey filled with falling leaves, forest adventures, and changing seasons, Lio discovers that letting go can lead to new beginnings.
The project focuses on creating a cohesive visual story through expressive character design, consistent environments, warm watercolor textures, and emotionally engaging compositions.

Left is better because the text is readable, the overall blue background is not flashing to the eyes as compared to the right one.
For the top right button " Start a project ", you can add some animation so that it stands out and encourage users to click on it.

I am gathering cool references for my own work as a Motion Designer, and thought it would be nice to share with the Community as I do so.
This one has been circulating on my socials for a few weeks now, and from the first moment I saw it, I saved it. Created by the team at Wix Motion Studio.
It has a nice mix of subtle motion and great design, combined with aesthetically pleasing AI-generated footage. I love the use of match cuts to keep the flow in the transitions, without overthinking them too much.
Would you keep this one in your collection?
