Tips:
- It is a small area, so plan carefully.
- Consider what medium works best for you. Sparkle crayons, gel pens, and neon colors don’t reproduce well.
- Do not use copyrighted images from TV shows, movies, or books) or include computer or AI generated art.
- If you include words, check for correct spelling and legibility. Keep text away from edge. In fact, keep all important design details away from the edges.
