5 Quick Tips To Make Great Diplomas in Word for 2021
Here are five quick tips to help you create a professional degree or diploma certificate:
1. Keep It Minimal
Minimalism is in trend. A modern document would naturally be creative yet minimalistic. Stay away from elaborate designs that'll make your document look dated.

A premium pre-built template takes care of text hierarchy. By leaving this major design work to experts, you only have to update the necessary details and change sentences accordingly. Try not to add more design elements to a pre-built template, as it may become cluttered.
2. Use Old English Text or Similar Wisely
Premium Certificate Template from Envato Elements that uses Olde English font only in the title
Have a look at the free template section, and you'll notice that Old English Text or similar is the go-to for many. It was the font to use back in the day and is still used to give that formal-antique look. You can still use this font, but maybe only use it for the main title. Using it for the entire document isn't necessary.
3. Add a Personal Touch
Many institutes add digital signatures and get printed with the document. If possible, get the diploma signed personally by the authorities. It adds a touch of authenticity and makes your graduates feel that they mattered enough to get a personally signed document.
4. Get It Printed Professionally

Printing is the most crucial step of this project. It can make or break the final document. If you don't own a good color printer or if your document has a dark background, it's best to get it printed professionally.
5. Make It Official
Today, anyone can forge any document easily. It's good to create a diploma certificate that won't cause issues for your graduates in the future. Avoid printing an image of a seal and use an embosser to create a raised seal design on these diploma certificates. Your graduates will genuinely appreciate it.
