Tall quirky graduation display
Summer Graduation
Summer Graduation is a tall quirky display in near-black on a pale blue illustration: narrow letters with small flares at the stems, an open R, a curled G and a slightly irregular rhythm, set in two lines with a tracked caption beneath, so the pair reads as a graduation card rather than a formal diploma face.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Summer Graduation.
The two words are stacked and the drawing is a tall display with small drawn features: the stems flare slightly at the foot, the R's leg opens, and the G carries a hook, which keeps the face from looking like a plain condensed sans. The rhythm is slightly irregular, so the pair reads as hand-set rather than mechanically spaced, and the narrow width lets a long word fit the plate without a second line. The counters are open, which is what keeps a tall face readable at banner size. The ground is a pale illustration of caps, ribbons and clouds, and the caption beneath sits on a white bar so it stays legible against the drawing, which is the right way to place small type over a picture.

Card for a graduation ceremony
A tall quirky display reads as a celebration rather than a certificate, and the narrow letters fit a long school name above the details on a small card.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A6 card: the name at 26 pt, the class year at 34 pt, and the venue in a 9 pt sans. Keep 12 mm margins and print two colours on a white card so the flares stay visible at card size.
Pre-production check
Check the 26 pt name, where a flare can look like a printing artefact; keep the size above 22 pt. Confirm the 9 pt venue reads at arm's length and that the year clears the illustration by 8 mm.
Banner for a graduation party
A friendly display suits a graduation party better than a formal serif, and the narrow letters let the class year run large across a banner.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print 900 by 400 mm: the year at 150 mm cap height, the name in a 60 mm sans, and a 6 mm rule. Keep 30 mm margins and print two colours on a light ground so the drawing behind stays visible.
Pre-production check
Check the banner at five metres, where the flares can read as damage; keep them above 6 mm. Confirm the 60 mm name reads at three metres and that the rule does not crowd the descenders.
Cover for a school leavers book
A tall display gives a leavers book a cover that feels celebratory rather than official, and the illustrated ground supplies the scene without a photograph of students.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the title at 80 mm cap height across 210 mm, the year at 110 mm, and the class line in a 9 pt sans. Keep the title in the upper half and let the illustration run to the trim beneath it.
Pre-production check
Check the title at thumbnail size, where a thin flare can vanish; keep the ink dark. Confirm the 9 pt class line reads in a shop and that the year prints cleanly on the spine.
