Making of the Poster

For the first time I will just say I was disappointed with myself as I felt that I could have done a better job. But none the less i did it to best of my ability and i am happy with the outcome ,well let me get to the steps but before i get to that i will show you a picture that inspired my idea...

This picture gave me the idea of comparing the world from two different times now and the future; I felt this would be a good idea that’s why I ran with it.

The Steps

Firstly I started by creating the background by using the pen tool and then I picked a lively colour (green) which I feel represents the earth a peacefulness. After that I created the outline of the earth all in different layers so that I don’t have any unnecessary complications, after the outline I divided it into two parts so that I could better differentiate the times.

After making the outline I drew in the continents and then coloured them in with the appropriate colour. The words that I fitted in(reduce c02 before it reduces us) simply mean that carbon dioxide will make the ice melt and thus the ice will cover most of the earth and reduce us if not killing us all this.

My ideas

These ideas were aimed at making people aware of what we are doing to our planet that is why I used the globe on all of them so as to get the message straight and forward. It was hard creating them because you never know if it has already been used so I was afraid of copying someone else’s idea but still I think I did something original.

The first one of the earth with a gas mask shows that we are killing it and that’s why it needs the oxygen tank because we pump too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

The second one shows the earth melting because it is just too hot for it.

Just like the words say our future is draining away, this is what is happening because as the earth dies so do we.

The third shows a before and after image of the earth. It is before the ice in the arctic melts and after it has melted that is why one side has more land than the other and one side has more water.

MY POSTER

My aim was to create something that was simple but yet straight to the point,i feel that i have done exactly that with the poster i have made.

My poster shows how the earth looks like now and how it will look in the near future if the ice in the arctic melts and believe me it will not be a pretty site.Making th poster i felt the need to get straight to the point and not beat about the bush so that people will exactly know whatit is about at first glance and not have thier own interpretations of it as some might go completely off and even convience others that what they say is indeed what the poster represents.

I felt that this was a good assingment as it focused on an issue that is truly terrorising the world and bring turmoil mostly because of the incidents which are occuring,i think we should take hint to this as this are signs that the worst of the worst shall come if we continue to kill our planet.
