The Complete Starter Pack

diy projects

there’s a seed packet, teabag envelope and teabag tags plus a carrot seed bomb packet.  These are all templates which you can print out, cut up and stick together so you’ve got some materials to hand out to people to help with your promotion.  Plus, everyone loves getting together for some cutting, sticking and colouring, so make the production process a great team building activity!

information leaflets

Everything you need to know is all the information from the public side of the website and can be used to promote what the Incredible Edible movement is about.  We also have this in hard copy, so get in touch if you’d like us to send you some.

The Getting going leaflet is available in two versions – one is full colour which looks great when you’re looking at it on screen, but takes lots of ink to print.  So we’ve also provided a printer friendly version which doesn’t have the dark background.  Both these files have active links to the sections of the Toolshed which will be useful to you – a reason to look at them online.  We also have this in hard copy, so get in touch if you’d like us to send you some.

posters

Promoting what you want to do can be important when you’re setting up your Incredible Edible group so we’ve created some template posters which are available in Word and PowerPoint – use whichever you are most familiar with.  There are a range of poster templates which we think might suit events you’re running, e.g. a seed swap or a food based event.  If you’ve got the skills you can change the templates around – there’s also a folder called graphics with some extra images in if you’d like to use them.

social media banners

When you’re setting up your Facebook and Twitter accounts, we’ve provided you with a range of images which are the right dimensions for the header pages on both platforms.  So just take your pick…

brand guidelines

The way we communicate is a crucial part of our identity and how we connect with others. Using a similar look makes it clear that we are all part of the same Incredible Edible movement, even though we spin the three plates in whatever way suits our communities. This document gives advice to anyone within the Incredible Edible family about how to write or produce Incredible materials. You can pass this document onto a designer if they are producing a product for you.

powerpoint template

This is all set up with slides explaining how the Incredible Edible movement started and then some slides for you to add your messages and photos.  You can use this when you’re giving presentations about your group’s work.
