Assignment 3 – POSTER (20%)
Based on the symbol and the illustration, you are now required to design a poster to provide overall awareness on the area of your choice. The poster is to give an overall picture of the happenings and the effects of the area of choice. The poster MUST send a POSITIVE MESSAGE!
Students are to incorporate the design principles that were learnt in MDP class.
Requirements - ALL WORK MUST BE ORIGINAL!
(1) Based on the facts found in this research on what, why and how global warming is affecting our environment, students are to come up with a statement and brief description on the area of your choice in the context of global warming.
An example could be – “Save our polar ice caps”. Based on this statement, illustrate a poster depicting that.
(2) Then, create a poster to provide visualisation on this based on the statement and description. This is to provide awareness on the area of choice. Statement should be a positive statement.
(3) The size of the image should be A3 size.
(4) The initial designs should be drawn on paper and later incorporate into the Illustrator software.
(5) You are to use the tools in Illustrator like the pen tool, basic colours, gradient colours, shapes to draw and all the tools that were taught to you this semester. You should also explore other tools & techniques available in Illustrator on your own and incorporate them into your design.
(6) The final outcome of the poster should be printed out and mounted onto a mounting board together with your statement and design brief explaining the statement. Use an appropriate mounting board (one side should contain the final output, while the other must contain the statement, brief and your name, ID and group)
(7) Class rules apply.
Criteria for marking for the poster:
(1) Creative and imaginative idea on your area in relation to global warming
(2) The concept itself and the proof of concept which are the sketches, references and research.
(3) Use of the tools - the proper and creative use of the tools

BACKGROUND RESEARCH
Global Warming (extinction of polar bear)
Hit by a double whammy of toxic chemicals and global climate change, polar bears face extinction and Polar Bears could be extinct in 100 years if climate change continues to melt the North Pole's ice.The North Pole's 'permanent' ice is melting by 10% each year and is likely to speed up as the white ice no longer reflects the sun's heat.Bears need the ice to feed. They can smell the seals under the ice and can break through it to catch them, or just wait for them to come up for air. Polar bears have always been able to survive the summers with little food, but now, with longer between the ice forming, they are suffering and getting a lot thinner.Starving bears have fewer cubs and are more likely to come to human settlements searching for food on dumps etc. Here they will be more at risk from humans.Finally if all the polar bears could speak i think hey would really love if we save their ice!
