The High School Certificates are most of the time designed in landscape orientation; this however is not any pact rule, the certificate can also be designed in portrait orientation as per your own choice.
The color theme has to be chosen very carefully. Since this is an official certificate and has to be very professional, the colors chosen should be very light and decent. No eye-pinching and funky colors should be chosen. The text color is preferred to be black in most cases. However, any other dark color relevant to the background color can be used for the purpose.
The name of the school is to be mentioned at the top in a heading format. Designers use a curved, semi-circle-shaped text arrangement for the heading so it is suggested that you also try it for a better design experience.
The school monogram or logo is to be included at the top of the certificate under the name heading. If you have designed the name in a circle heading, the logo can be moved to the top in this sequence.
Underneath the main heading and logo, the certification statement is written with blank spaces for the name of the student, day, month, and year. In some cases, the grade scored by the student is also mentioned so space is to be left for the grade as well.
The certificate is to end by designating space for mentioning the name of the head of the institution such as the Principal and someone from the examination section such as a controller of examination or superintendent etc.
