Meaning of my symbol





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.

Final Step


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.

Step 4



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.

Step 3

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



Step 2


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.

Step 1




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.

My Sketch


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:
