On a suitable background, use calligraphy to write out the following:

YOUTH AND AGE
Slowly goes youth, gradually comes age.
Youth is lovely, age is lonely.
Youth is exuberance, age is penance.
Youth is fiery, age is frosty.
But youth could be age.
And age could be youth.

Finish with appropriate border design.

Colours:   Optional. 
Size:         45cm by 30 cm

This is another popular question among the candidates, but they failed to demonstrate the competencies required. Many candidates were careless in the handling of lettering and many of them ignored the border and background required by the question, thereby causing them to lose available marks. Candidates were expected to demonstrate a mastery of use of space, colour combination, planning and layout.
