apology

i am so sorry i could not upload the final picture,the reason being that my adobe ill version has expired and all this time i have been trying to look for someone who has it but they are all not here because of the holidays.thank you sir,but i will not stop trying.

Examples


You can just see that there is no life here,not a single animal is going to survive this trauma.So sad...

WILD FIRES

I tried to stream and ended up doing about fires,which are common in most parts of the world.This fires are mostly caused for reasons being:
-free land for housing

-improvements
-technology
-new developments
-reckless behaviour

All this pose a big threat to nature..1 thing is that we have to remember that,those bushes we are burning is a shelter to many lifes of animals and not only that.We are also disturbing the ecosystem as some animals live by others or depend on others.And immediately we destroy the trees its the end of the beggining.We are killing some animals,leaving those which depended on them to starve.Leading others to go extinct and wiping the whole generations out.I mean if we do that to our animals what are our children going to do as they will be affected by this too.

ASSIGNMENT 3:GLOBAL WARMING

Global warming

Global mean surface temperature anomaly relative to 1961–1990
Global mean surface temperature anomaly relative to 1961–1990
Mean surface temperature anomalies during the period 1995 to 2004 with respect to the average temperatures from 1940 to 1980
Mean surface temperature anomalies during the period 1995 to 2004 with respect to the average temperatures from 1940 to 1980

GLOBAL WARMING
The term "global warming" is a specific example of global climate change. The term "climate change" can also refer to other periods of overall temperature change such as global warming. In common usage, the term "global warming" refers to the warming in recent decades and its projected continuation, and implies a human influence.

The average global air temperature near the Earth's surface increased 0.740.18 °c (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the hundred years ending in 2005. "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-twentieth century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations" via the 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.

Climate 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.The range of values results from the use of differing scenarios of future greenhouse gases emissions as well as models with differingclimate sensetivity. 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 will cause sea level to rise, and is expected to increase the intensity ofextreme weather events and to change the amount and pattern of precipitation. Other effects of global warming include changes in agric yields, trade routes, glacier retreat, species extinctions and increases in the ranges of disease vectors.

CAUSES
The Earth's climate changes in response to external forcing, including variations in its orbit around the Sun (orbital forcing),eruptions of volcanoes, and greenhouse gas atmospheric concentrations. The detailed causes of the recent remain an active field of research, but scientific consensus is that the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases due to human activity caused most of the warming observed since the start of the industrial era

RECENT INFORMATION ON THIS...

LAND
Global temperatures on both land and sea have increased by 0.75 °C (1.35 °F) relative to the period 1860–1900, according to the instrumental temperature record. This measured temperature increase is not significantly affected by the urban heat island effect. Since 1979, land temperatures have increased about twice as fast as ocean temperatures (0.25 °C per decade against 0.13 °C per decade). Temperatures in the lower trophosphere have increased between 0.12 and 0.22 °C (0.22 and 0.4 °F) per decade since 1979. Temperature is believed to have been relatively stable over one or two years thousands before 1850, with possibly regional fluctuations such as the Little ice age.

SEA
Sea temperatures increase more slowly than those on land both because of the larger effective heat capacity of the oceans and because the ocean can lose heat by evaporation more readily than the land. The NORTHERN HEMISPHERE has more land than the SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE, so it warms faster. The Northern Hemisphere also has extensive areas of seasonal snow and sea-ice cover subject to the ice-albedo feedback. More greenhouse gases are emitted in the Northern than Southern Hemisphere, but this does not contribute to the difference in warming because the major greenhouse gases persist long enough to mix between hemispheres.

MY FINAL PIECE:"BOTSWANA INDEPENDENCE DAY"

tools..how to..????


SKETCH 1:ON THE LEFT(TEXT)
i started off by writing the words for calendar.i was using "T" for text to type them.and after that i just colored them by using "direct tool and select tool" to put in my desired color specifically.For the "O"in the "40" I rotated it making it a 3D just to show improvement,so i colored before rotating it as it does not go back,"the process".

SKETCH 2:ON THE RIGHT(FLAG)
Here i used "pen tool"to make the curvy lines and each box individually so i can be able to color or put in different colors.Until to the end of my final.

another sketch


this one is just to implement on to the final idea.it has my personal statement and behind its the colors of my flags,so this just a rough sketch.
