Certificate Making Time!

Well I designed these on Monday and after buying some printer ink and paper I decided to get them printed whilst mum wasn't home (I needed her printer, mine is awful).

These certificates were hard to do. How can you make a certificate that both represents a nation but also sums up the complete destruction of an entire country? Not an easy thing to do. Google Syria and all you get are images of war. So I decided that classical ruins from Syria and some Arabic peace sayings would be my best bet.

So I did three designs. The first are for the 1st-6th place certificates.

These show a faded photo of some ruins in Damascus (all very symbolic) as well as a coloured block map of Syria (colour is representative of the placing) and then some text (just the show name and the placing). Plenty of space to write your horses name etc. on.

The championship certificates show the same faded picture. But they have Arabic text on them instead of a picture of the nation.

The normal championship certificates read "Be at peace, not in pieces" in English. I love this phrase (thinking tattoo)? For the colour on these I chose colours of the Syrian flag.

The overall championship ones read "Peace be upon you". For the colour on these I simply chose some cool effects that I found on photoshop!

I've taken three pictures for now but will take more on the day.

These are the overall reserve to reserve certificates, my template does four so I just went with that!


These are the fifth place ones:


And the second place:


There are no diamontes on this years but I hope they will be something a bit different all the same.
