Symbol

Finally, I complete my symbol in these few days. I am so happy because my symbol can successfully finish on my extimate time. Althought I face many problem in the process, I don't complaint on it. I am proud to show my final symbol here. My symbol may be not so beautiful as other friends' symbol but my symbol is very meaningful. Lets see my final symbol.

As you can see there are a pair of hands holding the earth. This is reminding the people to protect the earth without any complaint. Then you can see there is a raw of tree from small to big. These are appealling the people to plant the tree because earth nowadays is lacking of tree to produce the oxygen and to reduce the rate of carbon dioxide. Besides that, it also help in global warming to prevent the earth getting hotter and hotter. The trees also bring the meaning of hope. I make the trees from small to big because I am hoping the earth can get better and better in the future with the help of people. There is nothing impossible; just you are willing to do or not! Lets us protect the earth from today!

Modify My Symbol


I modify again my symbol to make it looks more beautiful.

process

The final!!!!


Using the reflect tool.

Using the copy and paste method.


Using the convert anchor point tool to make the line curve smoothly.
Using the rectangle tool to make a rectangle.
Using the transperancy method to make the circle look transperant.

Using the ellipise tool to make a circle.


Filling the colours in.

Using pen tool to cut out the shape of land.

Adding the colour into the shape.

Using the pen tool to cut out the shape of flower.


Using the copy n paste method.











Using the copy and paste method. After that, resize the shape.






Paste my reference picture and zoom in. Then using the pen tool again to cut out the shape of tree.







Using the ellipse tool to make a circle.





Using the reflect tool to change the position.








Using the copy and paste method.

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.
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. 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.
Increasing global temperature is expected to cause sea level to rise, an increase in the intensity of extreme weather events, and significant changes to the amount and pattern of precipitation. Other expected effects of global warming include changes in agricultural yields, modifications of trade routes, glacier retreat, species extinctions and increases in the ranges of disease vectors.
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.

who am i?

Halo...my name is TAN SHEK CHIEN...You can call me as 'SHEK' but remember not the 'SHREK'....if not you sure will lying in the hospital...ok...nice 2 meet u all...
