Poster - 3rd Part (Final)

Phew! It took me quite some time to work on the texts. But somehow I managed to complete them. This is how it looks like upon completion.
Besides that I made some adjustments to the texts and the background while I'm at it.

Statement:
Don't Lose Them To Forest Fires
Stop Global Warming
Before It Is Too Late

Description:
The poster above is based on the topic of forest fires.
The message for this poster is the importance of forests and the devastating effect forest fires brings to them. Since the importance of the nature is the priority in this poster, I used colors that have harmony effects for most of its parts.

The layout for this poster is as follows:
The tree in the center is to clearly show the main object in the topic, which is supported by the forest in the background.

The slogan "Stop Global Warming" is made in large, red texts at the center of the poster. It serves as the main message.
As for the other slogans such as "Don't Lose Them To Forest Fires" and "Before It Is Too Late" are to point out that forest fires (which are caused by global warming) will eventually destroy all forests, unless mankind do something about it before it's all too late to make any changes.

List of Tools used:
1. Brush tool
2. Gradient tool
3. Text tool

Poster - 2nd Part

This time, I started off with the background coloring such as the sky and the ground. What followed next was the clouds. I made them using brush tools.
I even used flare for the desired sun in the sky. After that, both the tree and background forest from the previous illustration was copied and pasted into this poster. ( Please refer to Assignment 2-Illustration )
Once those were done, I arranged the tree and background forest. In addition, I added an extra cloud in the sky.

Poster - 1st Part

This is my sketch of my poster for Assignment 3.

Since this poster is to increase awareness, I made it in the form of a scenery with trees instead of forest fires consuming the trees.

At first I looked for some suitable tree posters for references, such as these two.

Yet, I only used the trees shown on them as references.

Computer Graphics - Poster

This is the third assignment, to make a poster! It requires me to make a poster regarding the area of my choice, which happens to be wild fires.

Illustration - 4th Part (Final Outcome)

Finally, this is the final outcome of my work for the 2nd assignment. This illustration sure took quite some time for me to complete.

Information:

Title:
The Green Forest

Description/meaning:
  1. The tree in the front of the illustration shows the survival of a plant.
  2. The forest in the back represents how the trees were once abundant in the world.
  3. Blue color background is to bring coolness into the background of the illustration. It is also to represent the coolness nature brings to the world.
List of tools used:
  1. Paintbrush tool: To draw the lines in the illustration.
  2. Selection tool: To select the drawings and to perform things such as scaling, moving and others.
  3. Warp tool: To reshape drawings into more desirable form/shape.
  4. Live paint bucket: To fill wanted colors into a selected area of the illustration.
  5. Gradient tool: To adjust the colors difference in the illustration.
That's all I can explain in this post. Please feel free to leave a comment in this blog. I would really appreciate it if anyone can point out where my mistakes are in this assignment.
Added in the upper left-hand corner is the minimized symbol I previously made in Assignment 1.
I hope that this illustration will encourage people to appreciate both the beauty and importance of the nature more while increasing their awareness about global warming.

Illustration - 3rd Part

Using the same paintbrush tool, I drew the land, bushes and forest in the background. This is how it looked like before colors are inserted into the illustration. (Please refer to the image above)

Illustration - 2nd Part


I started off with the basic drawing of the main tree first by using paintbrush tool in Illustrator CS2. (Please refer to the picture above)
