How to Make an Appreciation Certificate in Apple Pages
An appreciation certificate is a certain document that is being used in schools, churches, businesses, and other organizations in order to give the recipient a recognition of achievement that is worth to be appreciated. Appreciation certificates are usually handed to students, employees or even guest speakers who have made a good accomplishment or performance in their field of work. This type of certificate is also served as a thank you gift for those who rendered some volunteer services or even those people who helped to organize an event.
Appreciation certificates must be crafted in a creative manner since some of the recipients tend to keep these type of certificates as a sentimental object. To make a special appreciation certificate, all you have to do is to make use of the Apple Pages software application and you do not have to spend a lot for a graphic designer to help you out. For you to be guided, here are the following tips on how to make a special appreciation certificate.
1. Choose One of the Appreciation Certificate Sample Templates
As you start with your appreciation certificate, you got the freedom to choose your own way of making the certificate. If you want to save a lot of time or if you’re in a hurry, the fastest thing that we could advice is to make an appreciation certificate by using any of the certificate samples online. Choose a specific editable template that best suits the attitude of your organization’s style. Whether if you’re making a certificate from a blank scratch or from an online template, your certificate must relate to your organization.
2. Customize the Template
Whether you started from a blank scratch or you downloaded an online template, the next thing to do is to customize the certificate template with the necessary graphic elements by using Apple Pages. Take for example, if you are making a school appreciation certificate, the graphic elements of your appreciation certificate must consist of school-related designs such as pencils, notebooks, crayons, books, and kiddie font styles.
3. Incorporate Important Details
One of the most important things that you must do in making any kind of certificate is to incorporate all of the important details. Like any other certificates, the appreciation certificate must have the name of the recipient, brief descriptions about the award, the date, time, and venue where the award is given. Other than those things, you must also include the names of the designated people who will be affixing the signature of the certificate. For instance, if you are making an employee award certificate, you must include the name of the team leader, the name of the manager, or even the name of the director.
4. Review Everything
Do not forget to review your appreciation certificate design from top to bottom. You must check if there are obvious errors like wrong spellings, incorrect grammar, and confusing punctuations. You must also check if your certificate designs are already in place. Make some necessary modifications if needed before printing the certificate.
5. Print, Affix Signature, and Distribute
To make your appreciation certificate ready, you can now print your sample certificates in any quantity you need. As you print, use any special papers that would make your certificate worth keeping. After printing, you can have the certificates signed to those designated people you have included in the certificate. If everything is ready, you can now distribute your appreciation certificate on the assigned date.
