About this template
If you need to close a course with something worth keeping, this Illustration Course Certificate does it with a clean layout that art schools, studios and painting classes will recognise straight away. On CerShare it comes in the Dusk colour scheme, with a sunburst as the centrepiece; the lettering pairs Cherry Swash with Literata.

How to customise it
Click any line to change it: the recipient’s name, the wording, the date, pages illustrated and picture book and the signatures. Choose A4, US Letter or A3, in landscape or portrait, and the layout rearranges itself to fit. The design comes with three colour schemes (Picture Book, Dusk and Meadow Blue), and every single colour can be changed. Change the font or the size of any line if your text is longer than the sample. You can also upload a logo or a photo and place it anywhere on the page.
Printing tips
Bright white matte paper of 160–200 gsm keeps the colours crisp. Print one copy on plain paper first to check the spelling and the margins. Standard A4 and Letter frames fit it without trimming.
