Description

1. In my final assignment, I want to show the people what would happen if pollution does not
stop, our world will be in danger. The increase in carbon dioxide flowing in the air due to global warming is very dangerous.

2. The colors of the background is green to represent the toxic that is flowing in the air. The
toxic emitted from factories are very dangerous and contain a lot of toxin.
3. The characters in the poster represent a family. The adult female is transparent to
represent death that is caused by air pollution.
4. They are all wearing gas mask and long sleeve shirts because the level of air pollution have
already reached a very dangerous state. Without the gas mask, the toxins in the air will
cause lung cancer and eventually, death. Without long sleeve shirts, the skin exposed to
the air may result in skin cancer.

PROJECT CHARTER

Assignment 3 Title : Living in a Toxic World
Project Start Date : August 19, 2008
Projected Finish Date : September 9, 2008.
Project Manager : Chin Weijie

Project Objectives : To make people realize that we are now living in a toxic environment


Develop : When I first entered the class for computer graphics, I was scared that I
wouldn't be able to do what was needed. But luckily, the teacher was nice
enough to me that I had the drive to go learn about Adobe Illustrator. I'm
still not good with it but I will keep on learning.

Approach : I will try my best to use all the tools, but I will surely use pen and
pencil tool. These two tools are enough for me to sketch all that I need.
Then I will add colors to my sketch. For my final assignment, I will try to tell people that if pollution doesn't stop, we will all suffer.


Roles and Responsibilities :
1. Sketch a sketching first
2. Trace out the sketch with pen tool
3. Add colours to my sketch
4. Add effects
5. Do necessary editing to finalize my poster

Comment:
I've had a great time in class.

The process

STEP 1

I traced the picture using live trace


STEP 2

I extract the only part that I need from the picture which is the factory and editted it so that it looks better


STEP 3

I change it from black and white to color. Actually i want to use black and white but then I thought it would be too simple. So I change it.


STEP 4

I colored the background. I used blue and green to show peace. I wanted to give an idea to people that even in a peaceful place there is still air pollution.


STEP 5

I paste the logo I did before.

My choice

I've decided to use the above picture as a reference to what I'm going to do

Assignment 2

Reference 1

Reference 2


Assignment 2 is about drawing a scenery which supports my topic...and my topic is about air pollution... So, I have decided to draw a scenery which is filled with smokes... With factories releasing smokes or carbon monoxide produced by car exhaust pipes..

Description

1. Gas masks are used to protect the wearers from pollutants and
   toxic materials. I used a gas mask to represent air pollution
   because people wear gas mask when the air is unhealthy.

2. The color of the gas mask is from green to purple. According to
the Air Quality Index Color Code Guide, green means that the
air is good or healthy whereas purple means that the air is very
unhealthy. So, the color of the gas mask is from green to purple
to show how our air is becoming unhealthier from time to time.

3. On the middle of the respirator, there is a radioactive sign to
show that we have been inhaling dangerous pollutants that are
flowing through the air.

4. The eyepiece of the gas mask is grey color to show how abvious
and how frequently haze has been clouding our air.

5. The filter is black in color to show how dirty the filtrates are
when the air is filtered.

How I did it..

Now, I've started using illustrator do draw my symbol. The first step is outlining the shape of the gas mask. I traced it out of the sketch I did with pen tool.


Step 2, I add a little detail to the outline using pen tool. I also resized my symbol to make it look more like a gas mask.

Step 3, I add colours my logo using gradient effect.

Step 4, I draw a human head using pencil tool. I used pencil tool to draw the ears and the hair because it is easier and faster than using pen tool. I also changed the color of the eyepiece

Global warming

I've use this picture as a reference to my symbol.



I've decided to change my symbol because of the restriction of using a globe... Now , i would like to focus on another cause of global warming, pollution. I've decided to use a gas mask as my symbol because we use a gas mask when the air is filled with toxic or when the air is unhealthy. So, I'm sure that when everyone looks at this logo, they will know that this logo is about pollution.

This is a simple sketch and a drawing using illustrator of
how my logo is going to look like.I would like to choose the
greenhouse effect as my topic. As you can see, my logo is
the earth under a green colored house. This means that
earth is now under the greenhouse effect.
