How to make a Certificate?

Here are the steps to follow when designing a certificate that is both functional and visually appealing:

1) Download a template: You first need to select a certificate template that is appropriate for your needs and suits the occasion. Whether it be for the completion of a course, the creation of a kindergarten certificate, or just for fun, simply save the document to your computer and you’re ready to customize it.

2) Insert relevant text: The most prominent text near the top should include the certificate type, e.g. “Certificate of Achievement” and the recipient’s name. Other text placed underneath may include information about what the certificate is for, the date that it was awarded and a signature from a relevant representative.

3) Choose your design: Ensure you select a legible font that can be read from a distance, and choose colors that complement your existing branding, including your logo (if applicable). Customize e.g. content, text position, change the fonts, add your own pictures, logos, style, typography, details, and appearance of your personalized good looking award certificate in minutes. If you wish to use other images, you can insert your own or you can download royalty-free stock images on several websites.

4) Proofread for errors: Before saving and printing out your certificate, check for any spelling or grammatical mistakes. This will ensure you have a document that looks polished and professional. If you will be producing multiple copies, it is a good idea to first print out a draft to make sure there are no errors and that it is still visually appealing when in hard copy form.

5) Print and present your certificate: Choosing a high-quality paper or card stock to print your certificate on will ensure you have a final product that looks professional.

6) Sign it: Let the highest authorized person in the organization sign it by handwritten signature or digital image of the signature.
