The Bulb The bulb represent the meaning of heat, heat is cause by the carbon dioxide that has increased over the years and because of that it caused a build up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere known as greenhouse effect,that is the cause of melting of the ice caps. Other than that the bulb is also to symbolize as an idea,so this is why i choose a bulb to take attention from the society to think of more idea to prevent the melting of ice caps.
The Ice Cube I choose a picture of ice cube melting is to symbolize the melting of ice caps that is happening now and than on the earth.
The Seven Lines The seven lines above the bulb represent the seven continent of the earth,to take action as soon as possible to decrease the melting of ice caps.
Shape Why i choose oval shape for the bulb? The reason why i choose oval shape for the bulb is because according to my research oval shape are smooth looking and simple and it matches my symbol representing for the melting of ice caps which is simple.
Colour Why is the bulb in orange and yellow colour? According to the research i've made,this is why i choose orange and yellow colour. ORANGE : 1.To human orange is a very hot colour.Orange is the best stimulant and help in times of depression, loneliness, and boredom - on the whole it is the best emotional stimulant. 2.The orange energy helps bring out this joy and bring out confidence and independence,it also helps people clear things up. YELLOW : 1. Yellow produce warming effect. BLUE : 1. Blue can be represent as two things, the ice and the water.
Lines Why the seven lines? The seven lines above the bulb represent the seven continent of the earth,to take action as soon as possible to decrease the melting of ice caps.
Lastly, to make the oval shape look more like a bulb i'll put the seven line above the oval shape by using the line segment tool using a stroke size 4pt.
To make the cube more like ice melting, i make a splash of water at the bottom of the cube again by using the pencil tool and fill the splash of water with dark or light blue that are call radial gradient 3 by choosing it at the swatches.After that to make the drop of water,again i use the pencil tool arrange it according to my picture and fill it with light blue.
The third step is, to make the cube looks like melting or to look like an ice cube melting i use the wrap tool, and than to fill the cube with blue colour to look like an ice i use the pencil tool
Secondly, to make the cube I use the line segment tool by arranging it in order and resizing it using the selection tool.For the cube i use a stroke size 2pt.
Here it go.Firstly to make the oval shape to represent the bulb, i use the ellipse tools. Than I resize the bulb by using the selection tool by clicking on the oval shape. Than i fill the bulb with orange and yellow colour to symbolize as heat that is produce by a bulb by selecting the colour at the swatches on the right side.Than i made the bottom part of the bulb which represent the screw by using the rounded rectangle tool and again i resize and arrange it in order by using the selection tool.As the screw, i use a stroke at size 2pt with white fill.
Here are the rough sketch of my main idea of ice melting of the ice caps. Which are one causes of global warming.The symbol that i turn up with after collecting ideas from the research and references that i have done. As what i have stated before in the other post:
The Bulb The bulb represent the meaning of heat that is the cause of melting of the ice caps. Other than that the bulb is also to symbolize as an idea,so this is why i choose a bulb to take attention from the society to think of more idea to prevent the melting of ice caps.
The Ice Cube I choose a picture of ice cube melting is to symbolize the melting of ice caps that is happening now and than on the earth.
The Seven Lines The seven lines above the bulb represent the seven continent of the earth,to take action as soon as possible to decrease the melting of ice caps.
Here are some of my research and references on how ice melt that I search in the internet.
The water molecules in ice are more strongly attached to each other than they are when the ice is melted.
That is why ice is a solid. As the ice warms up, the heat makes the molecules jiggle around more and more.
When it is warm enough, the molecules cannot stay stuck to each other like they did when they were ice.
It is when they break away from each other that melting happens.
Here are some of the pictures that I collect an idea from to use:
The above picture is picture of ice cubemelting. I choose a picture of ice cube melting is to symbolize themelting of ice caps that is happening now and than on the earth.
The above picture is a picture of a bulb that I choose to represent
the meaning of heat that is the cause of ice melting.
Other than that,
I choose a bulb is because usually a bulb is symbolize as an idea.
So this is why I choose a bulb, to show to the society to think of an idea
on how to decrease the rate of the melting of ice caps.
COLOURS
Orange Color
Orange combines the energy of red and the happiness of yellow. It is associated with joy, sunshine, and the tropics. Orange represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation.
To the human eye, orange is a very hot color, so it gives the sensation of heat. Nevertheless, orange is not as aggressive as red. Orange increases oxygen supply to the brain, produces an invigorating effect, and stimulates mental activity. It is highly accepted among young people. As a citrus color, orange is associated with healthy food and stimulates appetite. Orange is the color of fall and harvest. In heraldry, orange is symbolic of strength and endurance.
Orange has very high visibility, so you can use it to catch attention and highlight the most important elements of your design. Orange is very effective for promoting food products and toys.
Dark orange can mean deceit and distrust.
Red-orange corresponds to desire, sexual passion, pleasure, domination, aggression, and thirst for action.
Gold evokes the feeling of prestige. The meaning of gold is illumination, wisdom, and wealth. Gold often symbolizes high quality.
Yellow Color
Yellow is the color of sunshine. It's associated with joy, happiness, intellect, and energy.
Yellow produces a warming effect, arouses cheerfulness, stimulates mental activity, and generates muscle energy. Yellow is often associated with food. Bright, pure yellow is an attention getter, which is the reason taxicabs are painted this color. When overused, yellow may have a disturbing effect; it is known that babies cry more in yellow rooms. Yellow is seen before other colors when placed against black; this combination is often used to issue a warning. In heraldry, yellow indicates honor and loyalty. Later the meaning of yellow was connected with cowardice.
Use yellow to evoke pleasant, cheerful feelings. You can choose yellow to promote children's products and items related to leisure. Yellow is very effective for attracting attention, so use it to highlight the most important elements of your design. Men usually perceive yellow as a very lighthearted, 'childish' color, so it is not recommended to use yellow when selling prestigious, expensive products to men – nobody will buy a yellow business suit or a yellow Mercedes. Yellow is an unstable and spontaneous color, so avoid using yellow if you want to suggest stability and safety. Light yellow tends to disappear into white, so it usually needs a dark color to highlight it. Shades of yellow are visually unappealing because they loose cheerfulness and become dingy.
Dull (dingy) yellow represents caution, decay, sickness, and jealousy.
Light yellow is associated with intellect, freshness, and joy.
Global warming is the increase in the average measured temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-twentieth century, and its projected continuation.
The average global air temperature near the Earth's surface increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the hundred years ending in 2005.[1] The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-twentieth century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic (man-made) greenhouse gas concentrations" via an enhanced greenhouse effect. Natural phenomena such as solar variation combined with volcanoes probably had a small warming effect from pre-industrial times to 1950 and a small cooling effect from 1950 onward.
These basic conclusions have been endorsed by at least thirty scientific societies and academies of science,including all of the national academies of science of the major industrialized countries.While individual scientists have voiced disagreement with some findings of the IPCC, the overwhelming majority of scientists working on climate change agree with the IPCC's main conclusions.
Climate model projections summarized by the IPCC indicate that average global surface temperature will likely rise a further 1.1 to 6.4 °C(2.0 to 11.5 °F) during the twenty-first century. This range of values results from the use of differing scenarios of future greenhouse gas emissions as well as models with differing climate sensitivity. Although most studies focus on the period up to 2100, warming and sea level rise are expected to continue for more than a thousand years even if greenhouse gas levels are stabilized. The delay in reaching equilibrium is a result of the large heat capacity of the oceans.
Remaining scientific uncertainties include the amount of warming expected in the future, and how warming and related changes will vary from region to region around the globe. Most national governments have signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocol aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but there is ongoing political and public debate worldwide regarding what, if any, action should be taken to reduce or reverse future warming or to adapt to its expected consequences.
