Design ideas for class T-shirts recommended for the school festival

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

Try printing your favorite designs and decorating with them! Here are some ideas for using “neppuri,” short for “net print.” Use a service that lets you print design data created on your smartphone or computer at convenience stores to make a cover illustration.

In the video, they draw cute, handwritten lettering and stick on stickers printed via net print around it.

It’s a great idea for those who want to combine hand-drawn elements with digital data.

Let’s try expressing subtle shading using a variety of techniques! Here are some pen drawing ideas.

Pen drawings are something you can tackle with just a black pen and paper, without preparing digital equipment, paints, or colored pens.

However, creating shadows and depth with dots, lines, and hatching techniques does take some skill.

It’s a good idea to decide on a theme and composition in advance and make a rough sketch before you begin.

The delicate, beautiful nuances are the charm of pen drawings.

Take this opportunity to give it a try!

A pen-drawing-style illustration that achieves a striking impression through line weight and composition.

Draw characters and backgrounds inspired by students, then add shadows and patterns with a pen as you refine the details.

Using speech balloons and action lines to add dialogue and movement can create an excitement that makes readers want to turn the page.

Depicting the school building or festival booths in the background will convey an authentic school-festival atmosphere.

Since you can draw it all with a single pen, it’s also fun to finish while enjoying the contrast with the rough sketch.

By varying ink density and tone, you can achieve powerful expression even in black and white.

Once it’s finished, making copies and posting them is also recommended—it will become a cover that catches many people’s eyes.

The idea of incorporating a teacher’s portrait on the school festival cover is a unique way to express everyday gratitude and familiarity.

Observe features like the face shape, hairstyle, glasses, or beard to capture their individuality.

For the expression, recall their usual demeanor—such as a smile or a thoughtful look—to create a natural finish.

Adding a background like a blackboard or a classroom scene will enhance the school atmosphere.

Use mostly bright tones for coloring to give the overall design a cheerful feel.

After drawing the portrait, include the teacher’s catchphrases or hobbies in handwritten text to create a friendly cover that’s sure to make viewers smile.

A promotional poster can be made in many ways, such as by hand or with a smartphone app.

Place the school name and event date prominently in the center, and draw illustrations of food stalls and stage events around them to convey a lively atmosphere.

By adding hand-drawn-style lettering and speech bubbles, you can help the information catch the eye naturally.

It’s also recommended to set a theme—for example, draw an illustration of a male conductor and the festival’s theme text.

This can help stop passersby in their tracks when the poster is displayed.

It’s a perfect first step to build excitement for the school festival.

Grab attention with bold, impactful colors! Here are some ideas for hand-drawn POP designs.

You often see hand-drawn POPs in stores, and using them on covers is a surefire way to draw attention to the text.

First, use a bold pen to sketch the main outline, then use a fine pen to outline the letters.

By being intentional with your color palette, you can elevate the overall design.

Decide in advance which points you want to highlight and how to structure them, then give hand-drawn POP a try!

Softly spreading, gentle hues are the hallmark here! Let us introduce some watercolor illustration ideas.

Watercolors are captivating for their delicate, fleeting tones.

With their translucent light colors, you can also create natural gradients.

In the video, a girl wearing a cute outfit with frills is being drawn.

You can really see the attention to detail in the color of her hair and eyes.

It also seems there are techniques to get closer to the image you have in mind by combining colored pencils and white ink pens.

Give it a try!
