Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Graduation Awards.
Graduation Awards is a bouncy rounded display sans with chunky capitals, a clipped cut-paper rhythm and slightly varied cap heights, drawn in a bright weight whose joins are simple enough for a cutting machine. Because each letter is a closed shape with generous counters, it reads at sticker scale and at banner scale without changing character, and the multilingual support lets the same award design serve bilingual classrooms. It is emphatically a celebration face: warm, loud and short-phrase only, and it needs roughly 14 mm before the bounce starts to look cramped.

Super Reader award certificate, moving-up banner and class tee
The cut-paper bounce reads as a child's own cut-out lettering, which makes an award feel made for the classroom rather than downloaded. Chunky counters keep the award title readable in a photo taken from the back of the room.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Certificate A4 landscape, award title 24 mm, name 16 mm, body 10/15 pt, 20 mm margins. Banner 900 x 300 mm, two words at 100 mm, 40 mm margins. Tee print 240 x 200 mm, title 45 mm.
Pre-production check
Certificate titles printed at 24 mm in red on a bright ground lose contrast in a phone photo under classroom fluorescents. Check one print under the school's actual lighting or darken the red build before the run.
Star-student sticker sheet, summer-camp badge and party invitation
Simple closed shapes kiss-cut predictably, which is what a sticker sheet needs, and the cheerful weight reads at 25 mm where a more detailed face would fill in. The bounce keeps a short name from looking mechanical on a badge.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Sticker sheet A6, six 30 mm dies with 3 mm gaps, text 8 mm, 2 mm die margin. Badge 70 x 45 mm, name 9 mm, 3 mm border. Invite A6, title 16 mm, details 4.5 mm.
Pre-production check
Kiss-cut sheets peel badly if the artwork bleeds past the die or sits closer than 2 mm. Keep every element inside the die line, and pull one sticker to confirm the release cut before printing a class set.
Room-parent thank-you card, helper badge and staffroom poster
The rounded bounce keeps a thank-you from sounding official while the chunky caps make a helper badge findable across a busy hall. Short phrases are the natural unit for this face, which matches how a badge is read.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Card 105 x 148 mm, greeting 18 mm, signatures on a 10 mm grid, 10 mm margins. Badge 80 x 110 mm with a clip slot at 10 mm, name 10 mm. Poster A3, headline 90 pt, one line.
Pre-production check
Badges are worn on a lanyard and the card corners round off after a term. Specify 400 gsm with a 5 mm corner radius and a laminated face, then check one worn badge at the end of a week.
