Project Overview

This project designs a clean, engaging 12 × 18 placemat that teaches everyday manners in a playful, child-friendly way. Structured like a map rather than a poster, the layout begins with a bold title strip and uses generous white space so children can quickly scan the page in under 30 seconds. The placemat is divided into three clearly labeled zones—People Manners, Table Manners, and Public Manners. Each zone includes three short, easy-to-remember rules, one relatable scenario, and one lighthearted joke to keep the experience fun. The goal is to encourage good behavior without lecturing, using simple visuals, clear typography, and humor to make learning manners memorable and entertaining.
