"Save Our Tree, We Still Have Hope !"

This is my final for assignment three. I am still using the same theme since the first assignment, the hope to change for the better world and to protect our trees and nature!

~The Principle of Design~

• In this poster, I make the wings more contrast and eye catchy.
• I also choose the harmony color that shows the nature.
• There is different tonal value that show between the shape and its shadow.
• The message for the audience can be understand easily.
• My target for the audience is the age between 16 and above.
• The shape of my design can be understand easily.

p/s: I don't sure either what i wrote above is right or wrong as needed by Dr.Ken Neo.. T^T

However, I have done my very best for this semester and I hope I can get a good mark from it. ~curtain close~ ^^

The Steps of Drawing (Illustrator) 3rd

1. Firstly, i put the ruler for measurement of the shape that i will draw.


2.I put m sketch on it and adjust my sketch to the size which i want.

3. I start to draw the wings roughly by using pen tool.

4. In this process, I adjust the point and make the wing's shape more smooth. Pen tool is the best in adjusting the shape! ^^

5. Then I copy the wing and put it on my Assgnment 2 layout. At this stage i color the wing by using livepaint bucket tool.

6. After that, I copy the second layer of the wing and adjust it. I also color it with livepaint bucket.

7. Later, I do the third copy of the wing and adjust its size. I put gradiet on it (radial).

8. I adjust the size of the tree to make sure the wing can cover it like what i had planned.

9. After several adjustment, I put the wing on the tree.

10. I edit the phrase by using type tool. Not only that i drop shadow on my wing to make it looks 3D a bit as it is too flat on the tree. (Effect-->Stylize-->Drop shadow)

And you can see my final on the top titled,"Save Our Tree,We Still Have Hope"

The Sketches (Assignment 3)

As I said earlier during the Assignment 2, I will just add this wing to my poster and do some edit on it.. Hence, my focus on Assignment 3 is to draw a pair of wings.

My Statement and The Brief about it...

Statement : Save The Trees, We Still Have Hope

The worlds rain forests are widely believed by laymen to contribute a significant amount of world's oxygen. In fact, people are cutting the trees and clean the land for people needs and economy demand. However, if we did not take action as the deforestation are continue to happen, the mother earth might lost one of the most important living thing, trees. And without sufficient reforestation,it will results in declines in habitat and biodiversity. This will effect badly to the animals and living thing's habitat. If this happen, our life and future may be in danger. This is because the effect of global warming are keep attacking us nowadays as natural disasters like floods,hurricane, tsunami, rising of sea water level, extreme temperature rise are happen now.

Hence, I try to draw something that can protect the tree. In this positive view I choose the angel's wings to cover the tree. It presents the save,secure and protected environment and also a hope to save the tree. I am still usng the same positive theme from the beginning (my symbol for assignment 1) and apply it on this poster. Then, when people see my poster, they will think of their responsibility and there is still hope and it is never too late to save the tree. The future is in our hand. This is all for our next generation.. ^^

Research on The Area (Deforestation)

Impact on the environment

Generally, the removal or destruction of significant areas of forest cover has resulted in a degraded environment with reduced biodiversity. In many countries, massive deforestation is ongoing and is shaping climate and geography.

Deforestation is a substantial contributor to global warming, The worlds rain forests are widely believed by laymen to contribute a significant amount of world's oxygen although it is now accepted by scientists that rainforests contribute little net oxygen to the atmosphere and deforestation will have no effect whatsoever on atmospheric oxygen levels. However, the incineration and burning of forest plants in order to clear land releases tonnes of CO2 which contributes to global warming.

Deforestation reduces the content of water in the soil and groundwater as well as atmospheric moisture. Deforestation reduces soil cohesion, so that erosion, flooding and landslides often ensue. Forests support considerable biodiversity, providing valuable habitat for wildlife and forests foster for medicinal conservation.Forests enhance the recharge of aquifers in some locales however forests are a major source of aquifer depletion on most locales . With forest biotopes being a major, irreplaceable source of new drugs (like taxol), deforestation can destroy genetic variations (such as crop resistance) irretrievably.

Shrinking forest cover lessens the landscape's capacity to intercept, retain and transport precipitation. Instead of trapping precipitation, which then percolates to groundwater systems, deforested areas become sources of surface water runoff, which moves much faster than subsurface flows. That quicker transport of surface water can translate into flash flooding and more localized floods than would occur with the forest cover. Deforestation also contributes to decreased evapotranspiration, which lessens atmospheric moisture which in some cases affects precipitation levels down wind from the deforested area, as water is not recycled to downwind forests, but is lost in runoff and returns directly to the oceans. According to one preliminary study, in deforested north and northwest China, the average annual precipitation decreased by one third between the 1950s and the 1980s .

Longterm gains can be obtained by managing forest lands sustainably to maintain both forest cover and provide a biodegradable renewable resource. Forests are also important stores of organic carbon, and forests can extract carbon dioxide and pollutants from the air, thus contributing to biosphere stability. Deforestation (mainly in tropical areas) account for up to one-third of total anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. Forests are also valued for their aesthetic beauty and as a cultural resource and tourist attraction.

Experts estimate that we are losing 137 plant, animal and insect species every single day due to rainforest deforestation, which equates to 50,000 species a year.“Reducing emissions from tropical deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) in developing countries has emerged as new potential to complement ongoing climate policies. The idea consists in providing financial compensations for the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from deforestation and forest degradation”.

The Final for Assignment 2!!!

I Will Save You!

This is my final artwork for assignment 2. It is really pain to do it as i need to redo it twice because for the first artwork,i cannot color it! T_T However, I have done my best to make what i have imagine to become REALITY!!

I have summerize all the tool that i had used while doing this Illustrator -->

• Pen tool- To draw the lines, create many irregular shape and adjust the shape which have many dots.
• Paintbrush tool- To draw lines and irregular shape.
• Twirl tool- To make the shape become a bit spiral or twist.
• Livepaint Bucket- To fill color and gradient on the shape.
• Gradient tool- Make the differences in color from the light to dark or whatever addition of color which suitable with the area.
• Selection tool- Multipurpose used for this tool. To resize, transform, copy, move, grouping and many more.

From what i had learn, it is easy to use pen tool to draw because you can adjust the dots to make the shape more proper and you also can draw the curve easily.

Not only that,make sure you stick the line together and grouping it if you want to color it with live paintbucket. The experience of coloring this assignment 2 teach me on how to use it properly.
