Decide the Message Before You Draw
A strong anti-drug handwritten newspaper is not just a slogan. It should tell the reader which situations need caution and what you plan to do. Write one core sentence first, such as "Curiosity has many forms, but some should never be tested." Every section and drawing should support that sentence.
Four Sections You Can Use Right Away
1. Hidden Traps Around Us
- Drinks, candy or cigarettes offered by strangers
- Suspicious items packed as "energy candy" or "slimming pills"
- Friends saying "just try it once, nothing will happen"
2. My Three Refusal Steps
- Walk away first instead of arguing
- Say clearly, "I do not need it"
- Tell a parent or teacher afterwards
3. One Reminder
Choose a short, firm sentence and place it in the middle of the block, for example: "One moment of curiosity may take away your second chance." Write it larger and leave space around it.
4. A Quiet Word to Classmates
Use the first person for two or three lines, such as: "I know saying no to friends is hard, but I want us all to grow up safely together."
Make Headlines and Lettering Stand Out
Keep the main headline to about four to six words, for example "Say No to Temptation". You can draw a hand pushing away a danger symbol beside it to add movement. Make small section headings one size larger than the body text and use a different colour so the page reads clearly.
Colour and Layout Tips
- Choose a light background and dark body text for readability
- Give the main section a red or navy border and use lighter shades for smaller blocks
- Underline or highlight only key sentences instead of colouring whole paragraphs
- Put the theme at the top, the main block in the centre, and short lines or drawings on the sides
