Tell me more about the You Print, We Plant campaign. What kind of trees are you planting and where?
⢠Color - Bold colors or contrasting colors grab attention more than a neutral palette.
⢠Fonts - Keep them big, bold, and simple. Avoid using more than 2 or 3 different fonts.
To make sustainable choices easy for our creative community, weâre planting a tree for every print order placed. These mangrove and forest tree species will take root at restoration sites across Kenya, Mozambique, Madagascar, and Haiti.
⢠Text - Place all the important details in one spot.
⢠Image - Aim for one key image or a key theme. Avoid anything too cluttered or pixelated.
For mangroves, we will be planting native species of Rhizhopora, Ceriops, and Bruguiera. For forest species, we are looking at Afromontane species.
Above all else, aim to keep it simple, and if youâre not sure, check out our endless library of customizable templates and make one your own.
Each mangrove tree will sequester 3.4 kg (7.4 lbs) per year or 84 kg (185.2 lbs) over 25 years. The Afromontane species vary, depending on size.
