After that, i color it. The window and the door i color it using gradient.

Then, i create 2 new layer sommore and draw the leaves and stem of the tree using pen tool.


Firstly, i sketch the factory using pen tool and seperate them into 3 layer that is factory, chimmy and smoke.

sketching

This is sketching of my assignment 2...

Assignment 2 : cause and effect

I have already choose the effect of global warming - pollution as my topic.

So, i will illustrate a factory using illustrator...

These are some example of factory that i have found in some website...

i will use these factory picture as my reference to do my assignment 2.

The meaning of my symbol

i would like to give some description about my symbol as below :

The Shape:
1. factory - It is a major things that cause of air pollution. When we heard air pollution, it must related to factory.
2. smoke - came out from factory and causes air pollution.
3. earth - Its the earth!!!
4. eye in the earth - Shows the earth needs our help to recovered its original state.


The Colour:
1. blue( factory) - Unity. Shows all the people in the earth need unite to save our
earth.
2. blue( earth) - The parts of sea in the earth that haven get pollution.
3. black and grey( smoke) - Prove that it cause air pollution very seriously.
4. grey( earth) - The parts of earth that already get a seriously pullution.
5. green - The parts of jungle in the earth that haven get pollution.

my global warming's symbol

This is my first step when drawing my symbol.
I will use air pollution as my topic.

This is my first step drawing my symbol.

I used a factory because the majoring causes of air pollution is factory.

This is the second step of my symbol.

This is my final product.

The earth is pollute by the smoke that comes out from the factory.

All the things there i draw with pen tools including the circle.

redo the sketches for the symbol

about air pollution

Background reserch of global warming 2

According to scientists at the University of Washington, the Pacific Northwest has gotten warmer by 1.5 degrees since 1900, about a half-degree higher than the global average. Since 1949, snowpack in the lower mountain range, a primary source of water for the area, has declined 50 percent, raising the odd specter of water shortages in the rainy Pacific Northwest. More water is falling as rain--and being lost as runoff--and less is falling as mountain snow, a natural banking system that holds the precipitation until the spring, when it melts to fill reservoirs for the dry summer season. The problem snapped into focus over the past two years, when the state was hit by a severe drought--the kind of extreme weather fluctuation that scientists expect will become more common as temperatures climb. It's a question haunting the 58-year-old Sims, who has made fighting the effects of climate change a central theme for much of his 10-year tenure as county executive. Even if people everywhere unplugged their appliances, left their cars home, and shuttered their factories today, enough fossil fuel emissions are already in the atmosphere to heat up the planet an additional 1 degree Fahrenheit this century, experts say. In reality, however, emissions are increasing--and scenarios put the likely temperature increases at 2.5 to 8 degrees over the same span. While politicians wrangle over mitigation.

Last year, 2001, was the second warmest year since recordkeeping began in 1867. Following the all-time high of 1998, last year's near-record extends a strong trend of rising temperatures that began around 1980. The 15 warmest years since 1867 have all come since 1980.
