Questions for Greenpeace ~

I chose to do my major project on Greenpeace. Greenpeace is an independent protest association that utilizes non-violent direct action to expose worldwide environmental issues and to create solutions which are crucial to a peaceful and green future. Greenpeace’s aim is to take care of the earth and all life in its diversity.

Greenpeace began in 1971 by a small group of Canadian people believing that even a few individuals could make a difference. Greenpeace in Australia began 6 years later in 1977 and their first project was to stop the last whaling station in the (English- speaking) world at Albany, Western Australia.

Greenpeace’s advertisement is at the moment:

 (Winter.. You’ll miss it when it’s gone.)

Greenpeace focuses its advertisement on global issues such as climate change, pollution, animal extinction, demolishing rainforests and many other problems with the environment.

Greenpeace target anyone and everyone who can get involved in helping protect the environment.    

Major Project ~

1.       The organization of Greenpeace was discovered by a small group of people from Canada in 1971 therefore making Greenpeace around for 40 years.

2.        The advertisement of Greenpeace in 1971 was old and a bit tacky, they had a rainbow with a dove in the middle holding an olive branch off a tree just like the one in the story of Noah’s Arch, and their name GREENPEACE going through the rainbow with a peace sign at the end of it.

Advertisement for Greenpeace in 2011 shows more creativity then just a banner showing their name. The advertisement is of all these trees from a bird’s eye view that have been chopped down and have faces on them, faces showing emotion of their sadness and down the bottom right hand corner some words saying: When a tree falls, it takes other lives with it.   

   

3.       Yes it is appropriate because Greenpeace is about saving the environment and making people notice and get involved. I think the advertisement for Greenpeace is working because people and noticing it and realizing that they have to make a change.

4.       I think a more appropriate design would be to show somewhere on the design some information about how to get involved in Greenpeace. 

Concept Drawings ~

Concept Drawings:

In our major project, one of our assessments was to create 3 concepts for our poster. My 3 concepts were all different to one another so I could get a better idea of how I wanted to present my poster. I chose to present my poster on my first concept. 

Perspective Drawings ~

Perspective Drawings:

In class we were given a booklet which taught us how to shade and the different kinds of shading. Below there is picture on Line technique shading and Three tone shading.

In the booklet we had to complete a drawing of a single point perspective of a chair. We then had to turn the chair into a 3-Dimentional drawing and add shade to it. 

In the booklet we were given a half drawn house from a two point perspective. We had to complete this half drawn house. I had to add a tiled roof, chimney, drain pipes/ gutters to the house; on my free choice I added a path, a garden, a tree and a vent.
