Must start thx you the lecturer 1st~~~i dun dare to said much~~soliya

1st, i wana thx to Nath, my senior~~he is the 1 who teach me how to use illustrator~~he even let me use his computer to create my symbol~~

THANK YOU,NATH !!!

2nd, is my cousins~~Jiun Horng and Jiun Hsien~~~both of them give me the idea of the dragon~~actually~~they oso give me some issue on global warming~~so tat i can get more detail into my area~~~

THANK YOU, BRO !!!

3rd(laz but no least), is my friends who are in the same group as me~~~Chris,Winson,Zhe Ming, Kevin, Hong Ka, Wei Heng,Shek.......etc(many la~~how i list all~~but the 1 is list is the BEST friend of mine~~)

THANK YOU,PAL !!!

~~~U ALL ARE THE BEST~~~

~~The start and the end~~

phew~~~lucky me i can finish up my symbol~~~since i have the time i will talk about my symbol~~~i total make 3 symbols~~~

The 1st symbol is like this~~but it looks like a pokemon named "Lugia"

so i change to the 2nd symbol WITHOUT asking the teacher's idea(1st symbol oso didnt ask la)

I finish colour the symbol plus all my friends said it was nice~~and then my teacher tell me tis............ "DRAGON IS AN ANIMAL !! U CANNOT USE ANIMAL !!"~~~tat time i was black out~~omg omg omg~~i keep on said "omg" onli~~~my friends all give my some courage~~so after class i "bang my head on the wall"~~cracking my head to get idea~~SOS on msn~~

Then i get my 3rd symbol~~THIS SYMBOL !!!!

I m happy to get a symbol in a veri last minute~~hehe~~hope my symbol is correct for the assignment~~

~~~MEANING BEHIND THE SYMBOL !?!?~~~

OMG?!?!?i m rushing the assignment 1 day settle all~~nvm la nvm la~~hahaha

who call me kena reject by teacher at the veri last minutes~~nvm !!!

here is the NEW symbol i make~~wakaka(i m so proud)

Well~~~well~~~well~~where sure i start 1st?? Okeyy~~~the circle is the globe~~and it is melting~~~my area is the melting of ICE~~NOT GLOBE or WORLD!!! the globe is juz a background !!! The main character here is the SKULL !!!

YES !!! THE SKULL is the main character !!! Then let start from the skull~~~

The skull is representing the iceberg in the north pole or south pole~~~

Why skull??

Skull can be EVIL~~DANGEROUS~~ETC.~~i use the meaning "DANGEROUS" from the skull to represent the iceberg~~~cuz once the iceberg melt~~some country will be in BIG trouble~~or maybe will be history~~

Why the skull is like flying out???

Easy~~i do the skull flying out cuz if the global warming keep on continue like tis~~1 day the earth sure become no land and juz have water~~tatz why i put the skull fly out~~in short means NOT ENOUGH PLACE FOR THE WATER OF THE MELTING OF ICEBERG !!!

The background is juz the globe and the flame~~~Globe juz represent the earth~~~and the flame is representing the flame of the global warming or the heat we now having in the earth~~nothing much can explain with this 2 things

*poof*~~i reli need to have a quick nap~~hahaha~~

~~~COLOUR I USE FOR MY SYMBOL~~~

Dark blue and Light Blue using "GRADIENT"= COLOUR OF ICEBERG

White=USE AS A COLOUR TO MAKE THE EYES AND TEETH OF THE SKULL

Orange and Yellow using "GRADIENT"=FLAME OF THE GLOBAL WARMING

Green and Light Blue using "GRADIENT"=THE LAND AND WATER OF THE EARTH

Black=USE AS A COLOUR FOR SHADOWS


Light Orange and Green=USE AS A SHADOWS OF THE EARTH AND REPRESENT SOME PLANT AND THE HEAT OF EARTH

Light blue and Dark Blue=THE COLOUR OF THE SEA WATER

THANK YOU !!!

~~~The 2nd and LAST step of the journey~~~

Fuuuyohhhhh~~~~i finally done with my symbol after the skecth is upload~~let c~~~when i upload my skecth is 10pm~~~now is about 10am~~~OMG!?!?! 12 HOURS !!! no wonder now i sooo hungry la~~~eham~~okie okie cut the crap~~go to the real topic~~

After 12 hours of drawing in illustrator and print screen~~here is all the step of my work~~~

STEP 1 1st~~Open illustrator(need to state meh??)~~then i open my skecth in the illustrator and start to draw the flame as same as my skecth with the "PEN TOOL"

STEP 2Later i finish with my flame~~i copy and paste to create another 1~~this 1 i use the "GAUSSIAN BLUR" that locate at "EFFECT" bar~~~to make as a shadow~~

STEP 3

After that, i group both the flame together~~~c the flame have shadow~~haha~~den i use "PEN TOOL" to draw a....shape tat also act as a shadow~~but is front 1~~

STEP4 After my flame is group and i move it beside~~and start drawing a circle with the "ELLIPSE TOOL"

STEP 5

Once again i copy and paste create shadows~~but this time is double shadow~~both copies of the shadow circle are undergo the "GAUSSIAN BLUR" to make it show as a shadow~~

STEP 6

After grouping the circles~~i draw a small circle with the "ELLIPSE TOOL" and rotate it with the "SELECTION TOOL"~~

STEP 7 This is the one of the HARDEST part to draw~~the melting part of the circle~~i use "PEN TOOL" to draw this~~~and 1 of the small circle is use "ELLIPSE TOOL" and u c the 3 small shape inside the melting?? ya~~those 3 undergo the "GAUSSIAN BLUR" effect~~

STEP 8 Once again i copy paste the melting and undergo "GAUSSIAN BLUR"~~~(oops~~my friend nudge me~~)

STEP 9

After grouping~~~the melting of circle is form~~

STEP 10

HERE IS THE HARDEST PART TO DRAW !!!(approx use up 2 or 3 hours of the 12 hours) As u can c~~i use the help of a photo of a skull~~i trace it by using the "PEN TOOL"~~

STEP 11

Once again, i copy paste the skull and undergo "GAUSSIAN BLUR" to make a shadow effect~~(u bored watch this sentence again~~again and AGAIN???)

STEP 12 Well~~after the hard part to draw the skull~~after i group~~i saw 3 perfect pictures~~and it time to COLOUR !!!

STEP 13 After putting the skull and circle beside~~i colour both of the flame with orange and yellow(using the "GRADIENT")

STEP 14

Then i group the both flame together and c the effect~~

STEP 15 Later i put the shape i draw and lighter it with the "OPACITY" function~~i put it as 26%~~

STEP 16 After the flame is done~~~i colour the circle~~1 shadow circle and the shadow melting shape as black and another 1 is using "GRADIENT" merging light orange and green~~the original circle is also using "GRADIENT" merging green and light blue~~~the melting is also undergo "GRADIENT" merging dark blue and light blue~~~

STEP 17 Then i group it all together~~~

STEP 18

remember the skull and its shadow?? Here goes~~i put the shadow as black~~and the skull is dark blue and light dark blue using "GRADIENT" to merge it~~~

STEP 19

Then i group it~~and saw 3 colourful picture~~~and some of the white shadow part of the shadow skull i push it up so it looks nicer~~~

FINAL STEP !!! STEP 20After the hard drawing~~merging colouring~~~WALAH~~~my symbol is done~~

Once Again(again?? = =)~~~i wana said thank you to you who view my blog and watch this~~it kinda long but i need to post it cuz it my job !!!

MY FINAL SYMBOL WITH COLOUR !!!

I kinda add 2 of the shape up above the skull to make the flame have shadow~~haha~~~

THANK YOU !!!

*poof*~~time to sleep and eat~~~

~~~1st step of the new journey~~~

After the thinking~~~the "banging head onto the wall"~~~i finally get an idea to skecth out my symbol~~~i juz post up the final skecth the other skecth is like "destroyed" already~~~cuz tat time veri veri veri veri tension~~~soo soli ya~~~

HERE GOES MY SYMBOL: Yupzzz~~~is a skull there~~~the fire shape behind represent the hotness of global warming~~~the circle tat melt of cuz is represent the earth melting~~and the skull is representing the iceberg~~~

Why i draw the skull out???

It is because the iceberg is a dangerous item~~~once it melt~~the sea level rise and this will cause some land or country to be overlap by sea water. This will also cuz people to die~~

so the skull is best represent the iceberg melt~~c i also draw the skull like melting~~

~~~Letzzz continue the journey~~~

Okeyyy~~~let me re-explain the meaning of global warming~~~

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.

Due to the global warming,the sea absorbs heat from the sun, while the ice largely reflects the sun rays back to space. Thus, retreating sea ice will allow the sun to warm the now exposed sea water, contributing to further warming. The mechanism is the same as when a black car heats up faster in sunlight than a white car. This albedo change is also the main reason why IPCC predict polar temperatures in the northern hemisphere to rise up to twice as much as those of the rest of the world. In September 2007, the Arctic sea ice area reached about half the size of the average summer minimum area between 1979 to 2000. Based on the accelerated loss, predictions are that by 2030 the Arctic could be ice-free part of the year.Also in September 2007, Arctic sea ice retreated far enough for the Northwest Passage to become navigable to shipping for the first time in recorded history.The polar amplification of global warming is not predicted to occur in the southern hemisphere.The Antarctic sea ice reached its greatest extent on record since the beginning of observation in 1979,but the gain in ice in the south is exceeded by the loss in the north. The trend for global sea ice, northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere combined is clearly a decline.

This cause the iceberg to melt~~~my area of global warming is melting of iceberg~~~hehe

~~~A NEW Journey to The Next Symbol~~~

Ladies and Gentleman~~~as u see~~~my symbol had reach the final step~~~BUT~~~due to some rules that i forget~~~i nw need to......RE-DO MY SYMBOL !!!
so~~never mind never mind~~~cool down cool down~~i have brainstorm my brain after the CG class~~~when i eat....when i bath..... when i dreaming....and even when i sleep....i still brainstorming how to make another symbol~~~
Once again...i open msn messenger~~(YES !!! SOS AGAIN !!!)~~this time my cousin can't give me the idea~~~so i kind of out of idea but i look over my blog(this blog)~~~i found an idea !!!
Since we can't use the globe and animal shape(rite??)~~so i gona use A SKULL melting~~~and my dragon will go "sayonara". Now i gona plus up more fire surrounding the globe~~maybe~~~so i will be sketching rite away~~~so all be patient~~~i will upload ASAP~~~cuz DEADLINE IS NEAR !!!
i won't use many time to re-do my symbol 1~~~cause now i m RUSHING all assignment already~~add 1 mo subject~~na~~no problem~~~if i wana be a successful people i need training now(rite???)~~~lolxz

~~~My Final Final Symbol~~~

Well~~at the last post i said i will be using the dragon with circle and a Chinese(or English) word inside rite???

Now, i kinda change my mind after i watch "Bleach" comic(for the 10th times), although i watch it ALOT but i didn't go notice this symbol after this assignment comes i kinda notice it already~~ To those who got watch "Bleach"~~sure know this symbol one rite??

Its a skull cover with flame~~so i think i will put picture instance of a word~~cause people loves picture(rite??)~~i gona use the flame but not the skull~~~i will replace the skull with a globe

The globe will be looking like this:

I kinda think i will make the globe looks sad~~but i still need to wait until i get my hands on the "adobe illustrator" 1st~~~or maybe try my luck at "computer graphic" tutorial class~~try to draw a dragon shape and the flame with globe inside~~(although i can draw out already)
After skecthing a new symbol~~~it will look something like this:

I did this at my friend's computer~~he have "adobe illustrator" and this is my 1st try~~and i have help from him~~haha~~see the globe looks sad~~but i gona modify the symbol if i get any idea(need to watch "the war of dragons" to get new idea)

P/S:The title there i will keep on using until i start draw my symbol at "illustrator"~~it means this symbol is not my final symbol~~it maybe the final but not yet~~so~~the title will keep on increases the word "final" until i put "ultimate final"(with the word "ultimate" in front of the "final"~~it means i gona USE the symbol for this assignment)

So....wait patience and i will keep on drawing new symbol or modify my symbol~~

My final sketch~~~i will use this to be my symbol~~PART 2

Phew~~after having my lunch~~~letzzz continue~~

okie where did i stop at?? ya~~~i was talking about want to put what kind of word inside the circle rite???

after my lunch~~no~~during my lunch~~no~~i mean waiting for my meal to serve~~i was sketching~~~but i can't figure it out~~which one to use~~what a headache there~~~at this time, my meal is serve~~so EAT LOR~~~

After eating~~i walking back to my room~~~i thinking i going to use the chinese word but the point is....HOW I TYPE A CHINESE WORD IN ILLUSTRATOR !!!

Thats why i change my mind~~~i use english~~if i can type chinese in illustrator~~i will use chinese~~~cause chinese word is nicer then english word(i think.....) Here is the skecth~~eham~~the little ice cube there~~i will be putting him in my symbol too if have space~~hahaha

okeyyy~~the next step is~~GET MY HANDS ON THE ILLUSTRATOR INSTALLATION CD AND START DRAWING !!!(i didn't have illustrator in my computer yet thats why i can't start drawing T.T)

My final sketch~~~i will use this to be my symbol~~

At my previous post, i was using a circle and a dragon wings to be my symbol(rite??)~~~and then this event comes to me~~~

Yesterday, i was going to LowYat Plaza with my cousin and his friend~~~when we are in the bus~~~i was kinda tired so i slept for a while~~~while we arrive at KL Central(where the bus stop suddenly) woke me up~~i saw a trailer of one movie in the TV inside the bus~~~the trailer of the movie is "War of The Dragons" and i get another NEW idea~~

Poster of "War of The Dragons"(but don't know why it put there "Dragon wars" or "D-war"(I know "D-War" is last year's movie)

So, when i get back to room~~~i done some research on the movie and found all kind of dragon and found some old film that have dragons too~~~So, i hurry sketch out another symbol~~and it came out like this and i like it !!! Sorry for the center is blank~~~i was thinking either put a Chinese word(冰) or an English word(ICE) inside there~~~i will think about it after my lunch(yes~~~i type this with an empty stomach)

So, excuse me for a while ok?? After my lunch i will post another one to continue my report here~~~sorry~~~

Rough Sketches of my symbol~~~

Well~~~i did all my sketches in class especially media appreciation class~~~

let me tell you the process of thinking out my symbol~~~

At first, i was drawing "hitsugaya toshiro's dragon wing"(the last and 2nd last picture of the post) and it appear to be NOT a symbol but a picture~~~so i was kinda out of idea~~~so i open msn messenger and get my friends to give me some idea(yes~~i ask for help~~SOS !!!)~~finally my cousin give me an idea about a big ice dragon melt into a small ice dragon~~which leads me to my current symbol~~so i just use a circle with dragon wings for my symbol~~~

actually~~i am drawing the earth(the circle) covering with flaming dragon wings(basicly is the wings)~~so the wings is represent the flame of global warming and the center of the earth will be a letter "冰"(which means "ice" in english) and it represent the iceberg of the earth~~~i planing to make it like melting so that shows the melting of the iceberg cause by global warming~~~look at the third picture of my sketches i plan to draw a devil and angel wing to my symbol but i cant explain the flame of global warming so i just have to get back to my dragon wings~~haha

okeyy~~~enough of the details~~~because a picture shows a thousand words(rite??)~~so here is my skecthes~~~and i going to use one of them as my symbol for the assignment~~~so don't steal my idea ya~~although it looks weird~~~hahaha

Here are some of the reference i look at to get my ideaMY DRAGON FIGURE

The Pictures i found at google.com
Bleach's Hitsugaya Toshiro's Dragon Wing

Well~~~this just the early stage of my sketches~~maybe there will be more sketches will be uploaded or new symbol skecthes will be uploaded(if i am lucky to get another idea)~~~so wait patient or just throw your comment in my blog~~so that i can recreate my symbol or modify it~~~but anyway i got give the credits to my cousin who help me ALOT~~

THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!
