The assignment brief was to create a piece of work that shows what we have learnt this year. I choose to create a piece of work using my graphics skills.
The topic I choose was global warming because I have some knowledge from school about global warming and I had a good idea on how I could present it ( Info graphic ).
When doing my research I looked at a lot of websites, through these websites I found out how global warming is effecting the planet, for example. The main cause of global warming is pollution this causes the O zone layer to weaken. The O zone is a layer of our atmosphere that absorbs some of the rays from the sun that heats up the planet but not that much that it melts the ice caps but with the mass amount of pollution were producing now is weakening the O zone layer which is letting in to much of the suns rays which heats up the planet causing floods in coastal areas from the icecaps melting and causing droughts in places like Africa and Australia because there already hot and with the increase heat it delays the rain fall so crops are to dry to grow and die so the crops do not grow but some places like the UK get to much rain, The wheat needs sun to grow the water grows it to where its green but it needs the sun to dry it up and make it yellow. I also researched some charity's that help with global warming one that stood out was Greenpeace because they show on their website how it effects everything from animals to humans they also show how you can slow down global warming and how you can reduce your carbon foot print with everyday things like getting from place to place (using a bus because a bus with 2 people on is less pollution then 2 cars on the road) and turning lights off. I also found out from Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_dioxide_emissions that China, US and India are the biggest contributors to pollution and that China produced 10,540,000 kt of co2 out of 35,669,000 kt of co2 that was produced by the rest of the world
I couldn't find the name of the artist that inspired me but when I was searching on Google 'Info graphic designs' I was only finding short info graphics so I was not that confident that a short info graphic was enough work, but I found one where it was a long info graphic and I then new that an info graphic can be long and still be simple like the smaller ones.
