The Making of....






First, i plot out the asian region of the map with the pen tool on top of the blue ocean that was created using rectangular tool as well as for the black background.


Then, i flood the edges of the land by changing the continents color to suit the ocean colors and then pen tool another "unflooded" area on the African, Saudi Arabian, central Asian, Russian, and the Australian region. The border of this poster i made it black as though the whole region is surrounded by darkness when these disasters occurred.


This is the magnifying glass i made that has the view of a bad television reception. I used the 3D revolve method to create the handle and the base of the magnifying glass. And then i use eclipse tool to create a round shape on top of the base and put on some grainy effect. And then i use pen tool to create the zig zag effect and alter its opacity and color for each one of them. After that, I used the pen tool again to create the reflection to make it looks shining on a glass. to enhance the effect, i used the outer glow effect.
It gives an idea on how unthinkable and unimaginable our country Malaysia and other regions would face when there phenomena occurs.

This is the key word for the poster and it should be big, bold and bright. Global warming, i made it as if it is burning in flames. First, i use the eclipse tool to create a long oval shape, and then bold the outlines and put 2 different hot and warm colors in it. Then I use the crystallize tool to make the whole edges pointy and then the twirl tool to twirl it. Telling the people that global warming means the earth is getting hotter and hotter as if she is being burnt.

Global warming means the increase speed of seasonal ice melting on the north and south pole thus the faster the rise in sea water level.



This is the Statement for this poster. " Where Will We be At ?' the question asked. Where will we be at when these kinda disaster happen out of the hands of humans itself ? Where will our country be ? under the sea ? gone forever ?

My Sketch


This will roughly look like how my poster of global warming will be. I've decided to plot a map of the Asian region being slowly drowned by rising sea level cause of the melting of the ice caps on the north and south of the earth leaving Earth only a minimal amount of space for us and other living things.

As we all know, Malaysia is a tiny country on a peninsula almost surrounded by Seas. A serious rising sea level will definitively drown our country and others around us. Then i put a magnifying glass on top on Malaysia as if it is looking for it but found nothing.

A very important notice and warning to all that our entire nation could be wiped out if actions are not taken. Not now but will be for our Sons $ daughters or even our grandchildren.

Statement

The statement will be " Where will we be at?" . It gives a moment for us to stop and think, what will happen to us once the ice caps and glaciers start melting faster than it should be.

Where will us be at ? where will us be placed, or live or even survive ? Malaysia is a peninsula and being one of the lowest to sea level. Melting of the ice faster increases the sea water level even higher and when it becomes to quickly, it will definitely sink or drown Malaysia and the other islands around it. not only us, but the large percentage of Earth's land will sink and be under water due to humans' own misdeed.

GLOBAL WARMING - Assignment 3

Our CG assignment 3 require us to Illustrate or to create a poster on the Global Warming Awareness.

Global Warming as it is easy to understand, means the rising temperature of the earth's atmosphere and ocean.The question on Global Warming has been raised since the mid 20th century and the problem are still in continuation. The major part that causes global warming is the change in the Green House Effect that keeps the earth in its temperature that supports lives. The increase of green house gases due to heavy industrial activities leads to trapping of heat on earth thus affect lives as well as the natural effects of earth.

As we know, Earth consist of 75% water ( salt/fresh water) and 10% of ice caps and glaciers leaving only 15% of land for humans and other living animals to live. The increase in temperature on earth melts the ice faster than its suppose to melt seasonally thus, increase in sea water level and decrease in habitant land. Imagine if the ice on north, and the ice on south( that is approximately 2.3km deep down) melts faster that it should be, the masses of earth land would sink and leave almost no space for inhabitants or worst, humans.

People take this issue lightly and thinking that global warming was exaggerated and worst, a hoax. Without setting the right mindset on the people, or the leaders of the world, the problem will become much worser and then there will be no time to regret. Alot of awareness campaign and studies have been done and works hard to get support from the people around the world.

This assignment that require us to create a poster is a good way to determine whether how much we know about global warming and how much we are trying to create an awareness or ways to stop it.
