How to

Please use the template and respect the following guidances:

  1. Respect the margins and safe areas in the template
  2. Chose the visual according to the gridding (only for desktop since there's only one visual for mobile).
  3. Modify height of the template if needed but make sure the visual is still high enough in all languages to ensure quality
  4. People's faces are not behind the text or the arrow. The copy can't be in a different gridding so make sure you have enough space for the visual.
