my sketch

this is my sketch which i would do in adobe illustrator for computer graphic's assignment 2. i know the sketch is too simple and not so pretty but, i hope this sketch will change people's mind to care about nature. i really hope that we should be more responsible to protect the nature espeacialy trees. it is because trees give us lives which they supply oxygen to us. thus, we should love trees and save the trees from deforestation.

the meanings of this symbol

this symbol bring a meanings to people in this world. as i said in the first post, i chose deforestation as the main topic of global warming and the symbol is a tree. Actually is not only a tree, it's more than a tree.

i designed the trunk differently because the trunk is a symbol of a hands holding or protecting a root which will grow into a tree. hence, the tree will supply oxygen and life to us. if trees really not exist in this world, how are we going to live? where can we get oxygen to breathe? can you imagine in future, there is no trees and beset with the city. could us live in such conditions?

while the leaves is a symbol of humans life. each leaf is the symbol of human life. if one leaf fall cause a human life perishing. so, imagine if one tree is cutting down will sacrifice humans life with total large. that is not include other life such as animals life. we fit avoid from important trait oneself. we should concern about the wild life accommodation if tree felling happened rampantly. therefore, the leaves brings a symbol of humans and wild living life.

i chose dark green colour( C=50, M=0, Y=100, K=0) as for the trunk because dark green colour is associated with ambition, greed, and jealousy. dark green is the symbol of human nature or human qualities.hence, humans have different kinds of charcter such as some people are concern about deforestation and some people are in the opposite way. in this world, there are some people who have the ambition to stop deforestation and some people are greedy want to own one area such as wide forest for developmant without think the impact in the future.

futhermore, i chose light green colour(C=20, M=0, Y=100, K=0) as for the leaves because it shows harmony and freshness. by the way, green colour is the colour of nature. It symbolize growth, harmony, freshness, and fertility. green also has strong emotinal coresspondance with safety. thus, light green has great healing power. it is the most restful colour for the human eye.

moreover, i used yellow colour(C=5, M=0, Y=90, K=0) as for the outlines of the leaves. yellow is the colour of sunshine. it associated with joy, happiness, intellect, and energy. thus, the outlines of the leaves in yellow colours shows that people will live in joy and happiness. without the leaves human will not have energy or oxygen to accomplish the task diurnal.

i create this symbol is to encourage people to save the trees and stop deforestation. we should realize that the trees are now increasingly delete from time to time. we should stop cutting trees, wildfire, and more. aren't we scared if flash flood happens somewhere near to our homes? aren't we scared if the temperature increases and cause us skin cancer? thus, we should practise nature recycling so that, we can save the trees and avoid deforestation.

final step

step 5: i draw the outlines for the leaves part by using pencil tool(N) with 7 pt. Round sizes in yellow colour( C=5, M=0, Y=90, K=0) to make it more attractive. On the other side for trunk part, i draw the outlines by using pencil tool(N) with 7 pt. Round size also with dark green colour(C=85, M=10, Y=100, K=10)to make it more darker.

step 4

step 4: i painted the leaves by using paintbrush tool(B) with 7 pt. Round sizes.

step 3

step 3: i painted the trunk using paintbrush tool(B) with 7 pt. Round.

step 2

step 2: the trunk, i draw the outlines by using pencil tool(N) with green colour. while, the leaves i use arc tool from line segment tool(\) box to draw the outlines with light green colour.
