These are stickers that I designed for an outreach program called the Native Plant Sale. These were made to go on the front of seed packets. I designed these, used word to make sure the margins were correct, and printed them on labels.
These plant-filled designs are currently used for the 'Friends of the Parks' display boards for their outreach programs.
I was tasked with creating the image on the left for a volunteer banquet presentation and banner.
