Birthday: handwriting on a warm background

This example uses only three features.
- Background color: a pastel from the palette button. For birthdays, cream or light pink is a safe choice.
- Sticky note color and tilt: a different color per person and a slight tilt make it look hand-placed.
- Doodles: no skill needed. One heart or one star changes the temperature of the board.

Farewell: a calm tone, formal and casual mixed

The trick for a farewell board is a calm background. Colored sticky notes on light blue or gray read better than on a loud background, and look tidy when printed as a gift. Wording for managers and juniors is collected in the farewell guide.
Graduation: the whole class on one page

When a whole class makes one, the first notes set the layout. If the teacher or organizer writes first, the classmates who follow write without hesitating. The full class procedure is in the graduation guide.
