    uniE621 Pollinator Poster
    Pollinator Poster Illustrated by Rebecca Plachte-Zuieback for Sustainable For Good This vibrant, hand-illustrated poster celebrates the essential role of pollinators—from bees and butterflies to bats and birds—in sustaining our ecosystems and food supply. Created to raise awareness and spark appreciation, it’s a visual love letter to the creatures that keep our world blooming. The Pollinator Poster is part of a 3-part series I designed for Sustainable For Good to highlight three critical environmental themes: the forest, the ocean, and pollinators. Each piece in the series was drawn freehand on a tablet and refined in Illustrator, then printed on eco-conscious materials like matte archival paper. Together, the series serves as an educational and inspiring reminder to protect what sustains us—from the soil to the sea. ecoillustrator educationalillustrator animalillustrator To see the whole collection go to https://www.twine.net/signin…
