    How do I make my title page beautiful?
    Community Answer
    Sketch a quick plan in your notebook. Choose a style of writing that enhances your subject. You could write the title in a dark color, then choose a neon color to outline: this really makes colors pop! Draw little items related to your project in the unused space (e.g., if your subject is a famous medieval battle, draw swords, arrows, kings and crowns).
