At the heart of the design was a delightful teddy bear (sourced from iStock Photos), sporting a charming checker-pattern baby bib and holding a knife and fork, all set to enjoy a picnic on lush green grass. This endearing image embodied the core theme of the event – a picnic gathering for families to share memorable moments. The font variations added depth and visual interest, with "Teddy Bears Picnic" taking center stage within a bunting flag. The checker-pattern baby bib worn by the teddy bear harked back to classic childhood imagery, triggering a sense of nostalgia. The inclusion of a knife and fork held by the bear playfully highlighted the culinary aspect of the picnic, sparking anticipation for a day filled with delicious treats and shared meals.
This carefully placed element of the bunting flag added a touch of playfulness while framing the design, guiding the viewer's gaze toward the event details below.

The spacing, layout and hierachy ensured all vital information was easily legible for readers.
The positioning of sponsor names was strategic, with "Credence Independent Advisors" given prominence above the others adding credibility to the event.
