Road sign for animals

For this quarter I chose to do graphic design. I felt like it would be a bit similar to image editing which is what I did last time. For my project I did a road sign for animals. I really like animals and in some places poaching is a big issue. The point of my road sign is to warn animals that there are dangerous poachers ahead and to turn around.  I used pixlr to make my road sign. I made a pentagon and used the color fill tool to make it bright yellow. I used the text tool and wrote “watch out for humans” on the sign. I’m not sure if animals can read but for my project just assume that they can. I added photos of commonly poached animals to my sign and blood splatters. I overlayed these photos. Finally I made my sign transparent. I did this by cutting out the sign and adding a background and clicking transparent. It was a bit difficult figuring out how to make the background transparent but after watching some videos I figured it out. During this project I learned that I am good at asking questions and problem solving when I am stuck. This project has actually inspired me to spread awareness about poaching and it is surprising the amount of people that are not aware of this issue. I love using pixlr and it is very simple to use for the most part.
