Poster : Don't burn her giraffe!
Title : "Don't burn her giraffe!"
Message : Don't burn off our future generation, let them be the one who lead us and let's protect them from global warming!
I used a very messy-like and an attracting colour type of text to give a "LOOK HERE, LOOK AT ME!" effect into the poster, and make them try to read the words. Because if I do that, people would then look at the poster, right?
I also filled the ground with flowers, veins and colorful grounds to portray the positive message that we can do it, it will look like that in the future, just you wait, we will work to give the future generation a happy place to live, free of global warming.
As well as the huge tree blocking the sun from shining and harming our future generation ; I think the meaning is quite obvious - it means trees, are 1 of the biggest options and methods to prevent global warming from harming them, protecting and nurturing them.
The fence is there also to show protection. You know, shepherds use a fence to round the sheep so they're safe in there, same applies to this poster ; the future generation shall be safe and sound as long as we prevent global warming from going on even more.
The huge, pathetic sun is there to try to harm our future generation more, but fail miserably.
Clear blue sky and fluffy clouds to show calmness and the beauty of nature if we do prevent global warming.
Colours used and meanings ;
Red, yellow, orange - to portray the heat, the sun, or just fire in general.
Brown - to portray the color of soil of the earth ; that includes the fence, as it's also made with wood, trees.
Green - the colour of nature ; trees and leaves
Pink - the colour of beauty into the nature

Assignment 3 steps
So I've done my assignment 3. Wee.
So I started off with this.
I added a brown ground using the pen tool.
And so i repeated the steps for the green ground and pink ground.
Remember this technique? I applied the ground shadow technique using the same one as I did during my assignment 2 - added new layer, drew the shadow paths with pen tool, copy the previous layer's ground and pasted at back on the layer of the shadow path, then using the select tool, I selected both the ground and shadow path and intersected them, then I used gradient tool on the ground and put multiply mode so it blends.
And I repeated the steps.
Look! I used object > Blend > Blend options > Choose "Specified steps" > Set to 20 > blend on my flower petal, again.
After that, I formed a shape of a flower by using copy paste, and played with the transparency of the petals as well.
I copy pasted again and formed a bed of flowers on the ground.
I also used the same blend method to do the veins of for the flowers. Otherwise, how do you think they breathe or collect water from ground? :P
And then I created the fence using pen tool once again, copy pasted, and lined them in a row, then made a long horizontal rectangle to show that the fence are nailed to it to form a row, just like any other fences. And also, I added a clear blue sky background.
And then, I used the flare tool to show sunlight shining in the sky happily, and some clouds, then Gaussian blurred (with 14.0cm) the clouds to show blurriness and cloud-like elements.
And this, I added a sun using the ellipse tool and once again, Gaussian blurred it (with radius 14.0cm).
I felt like the sun wasn't threatening enough, so I used the select tool once again and maximized the sun to show threat.
Then, i made a simple tree with the pencil tool, and then I used chalk scribble brush to do the shadowed part of the tree.
Moved the tree into the background using the select tool to cover the sun up to show protection.
And time for the words, I played around with effect > warp and changed the outer line brush with chalk scribble brush again. Actually, I used the pen tool to create a path, then selected the type on a path tool to type over the line i created with pen tool,then played around with the paths. I also played around with the outer and inner line for the sub-description texts and just tilted it sideways using the select tool.
With that, I used the same method learnt and applied to the project charter for the poster. And I'm done.

Statement and stuff
STATEMENT
"Don't burn her giraffe!"
Description :
Instead of saying something boring, ironic and/or cliched, I used a more childish/innocent type of statement to let the public be more guilty and ashamed of themselves for not taking any actions on stopping global warming in the first place. The future generation needs our protection, they're still young and new to the world. As their elders, we should do something. The elder should protect the young, right?
Idea :
To let the world be aware of the dangers our future generation may run into. If the future generation couldn't stop this dangerous threat, who will? Thus, in assignment 1 and 2, i used a baby and a toddler to represent the future generation, and a burning toy giraffe in her arm. I used a baby GIRL is because girls are uh, the ones who reproduce. As well as a happy-coloured background to show how happy the future generation will be with a new world, and a tree to block the sun, to portray protection to them from being burnt by the sun. With flowers, the beauty of nature, and how the world is suppose to look like!

References and poster design-based thingus.
Awww! I plan to do the background something similar to this.
And this, as the design for the poster. Just the design, not the background, and except that the girl girl is carrying a burnt giraffe, and maybe the wordings may vary.
