Puno ng Pagasa "tree-shirt"

Designed a single-color "tree-shirt" for a campaign highlighting trees native to the Philippines. "Puno" is the Filipino word for both "full" and "tree", giving the slogan "Puno ng Pag-asa" a dual meaning: full of hope or tree of hope. The slogan was made via a contest run on Facebook. The winner, Philip Andaya, came up with the slogan.
 
With less than one-forth of original rainforests left, reforestation projects using native trees are crucial. Native trees are more adaptive to the forest being restored and have greater chances of survival. Aside from reviving the life support system of forest, they also ensure the flourishing of native plants and animals.
