Tips

Here's some advice from School Is Cool judge Gavin Bishop

How to get started on making a “School is Cool” poster

  1. Make a list of 5 things that you like at your school. You might choose your friends, subjects you like, games you play, your teachers, or even your lunch.
  2. Put a circle around 3 of your favourite things in that list. Now make some drawings of those favourite things.
  3. Now it’s time to start designing. Think carefully about the words you are going to use. Don’t use too many.
  4. Make a rough layout of your poster. Sketch out where the words and the pictures will go.
  5. Make a good copy when you are satisfied with your rough layout.
  6. Take your time. Don’t rush.
