A webinar announcement graphic with a soft sky and water background showing a calm shoreline. Centered near the top is a bold title about the wetlands of San Francisco Bay and how they have changed over time. Below it is the date and time of the online event. A longer paragraph explains how the shorelineโs history, environmental pressures, and sediment movement shape the region. Near the bottom, a section labeled โHosted byโ introduces a researcher with a circular photo of him smiling in sunglasses and a short description of his role and affiliation.
Upcoming webinar: The shorelines of San Francisco Bay have both defined the history of the region and are subject to degradation, extraction, & neglect. Join Lukas WinklerPrins, who will share the stakeholders invested in keeping these wetlands functional in a rapidly changing place. buff.ly/NtEQcSx

An informational graphic promoting an event about LGBTQ Cultural Districts. The top section features the title and event time, placed over a softly blurred image of a city street with rainbow-toned stripes framing the bottom edge. A central paragraph outlines the history, goals, and community impact of San Franciscoโs Cultural Districts. At the bottom are four circular speaker photos with their names and positions written beneath each one. The layout is organized and easy to read, blending text and imagery in a balanced way.
