This is the E-card I created for an environmental issue. The issue I chose was Global Warming and how it is effecting us here in New York. I painted the background using a painting application on my iPad and decided that it would work well with this piece. I then wanted to convey the reality of global warming by making the date "December 25" Christmas day, when kids are home and want to play in the snow; however due to global warming it does not snow often from Christmas anymore. I wanted to show that in New York City because of global warming the temperatures have been so mild, that is why I chose to place 75 degrees in the sun, and have flowers and grass blossoming in the middle of winter when it is suppose to be snowing and cold. I added an oil paint filter over the piece to blend it and give the card a textured look. I wanted to keep the message simple and to the point on the inside, as well as the back of the card; I wanted to show an eco friendly design which I was able to find on a google search and it is a butterfly globe. I then added the words 'eco friendly' inside the butterfly to tie it all together. Rather then using words, I wanted the pictures to speak to the viewer and have the viewer find the irony in the piece as well as an awareness of the future.
Very nice. Clever idea and clean. The only thing I would change is Make the type bigger. You could split the head line into 2 lines and make it twice a big.

I think this was a great way to get the point across. It was just 70 degrees here in upstate NY in December!
