A Graduate in Cap and Gown at the Centre of the Card
The graduate smiles from a round frame wearing a cap and gown, holding a diploma, and the words GRADUATION ANNOUNCEMENT curve around her in lime green. A white panel below states the name, the degree, the date and the place. It suits families, friends and universities that share news of a graduate on social media or in a newsletter.
Round Photo and White Rounded Panel
The design is 600 x 800 pixels, portrait, one page. The background is dark teal. A white rounded panel fills the lower two thirds, with a green graduation cap icon at its upper right. The portrait sits in a circle with a white ring above the panel, with the heading arcing over it.
Name, Degree, Date and Location
Congratulations in green script sits over EMILY JOHNSON in dark capitals, followed by on this remarkable accomplishment! A paragraph reads With great pride and joy, we announce that Emily Johnson has successfully graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from University of California, Berkeley. A green pill shows Graduation Date: May 18, 2026, and a line gives Location: Berkeley, California, USA. Replace the name, degree, university and date. Check the facts against the official programme.
What to Include in a Graduation Announcement
- Full name of the graduate.
- Degree and field of study.
- University and graduating year.
- Date and place of the ceremony.
- A short message of pride.
Choosing the Graduation Photo
Use a clear, well lit photo with the cap and gown. A shot with a campus building behind adds context. Crop to the face and shoulders so that the circle shows the person clearly.
Naming the Degree Correctly
Use the exact name of the degree from the diploma or the programme, such as Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. If honours or distinctions apply, add them. Accurate names help the graduate use the card in later applications.
Saving the Graduation Card
Save an image for social media and a PDF for printing. Print on 250 gsm card at A5 to frame it. Ask the graduate to approve the final text.
