Gender : Men and Women
Purpose : To make the public know what animals are close to extinction
Theme : Save Them!

Research & Fact Finding
Extinction is the end of an organism or of a group of organisms (taxon), normally a species.
The moment of extinction is generally considered to be the death of the last individual of the species, although the capacity to breed and recover may have been lost before this point. Because a species' potential range may be very large, determining this moment is difficult, and is usually done retrospectively.
Through evolution, new species arise through the process of speciation where new varieties of organisms arise and thrive when they are able to find and exploit an ecological niche and species become extinct when they are no longer able to survive in changing conditions or against superior competition.
The relationship between animals and their ecological niches has been firmly established.
A typical species becomes extinct within 10 million years of its first appearance, although some species, called living fossils, survive virtually unchanged for hundreds of years. Most extinctions have occurred naturally, prior to Homo Sapiens walking on earth, it is estimated that 99.9% of all species have ever existed are now extinct.
A species becomes extinct when the last existing member dies. Extinction therefore becomes a certainty when there are no surviving individuals that are able to reproduce and create a new generation. A species may become functionally extinct when only a handful of individuals survive, which cannot reproduce due to poor health, age , sparse distribution over a large range, a lack of individuals of both sexes or other reasons.
Causes of extinction :
Genetics & Demographic Phenomena
Genetic Pollution
Habitat Degradation
Predation, Competition and Disease
Coextinction
Climate change

4. Sumatran Tiger
5. Golden-Headed Langur
6. Black-Footed Ferret
7. Borneo Pygmy Elephant
8. Giant Panda
9. Polar bear

Mind Map :
Sketches :
Sketch 1
Sketch 2
Sketch 3
Chosen Design :
(Sketch 3)
My Design from sketch 2 shows that there are some circles. Those circles represent the images of the animals that are almost extinct.
The title for my Animal Extinction screen design will be "Almost Gone."
Concept :
My Screen Design for Animal Extinction will be a design that is made to make the public know about what types of animals that are almost extinct or gone from our earth. My screen design will be showing a few types of animals around the world and some of their information.
Screen Design Process:
(Animal Extinction)
(Animal Extinction)
For my Screen Design, I decided to only explain about 6 types of animals that are close to extinction :
1. Jaran Rhinoceros
2. Cross River Gorilla
3. Sumatran Tiger
4. Borneo Pygmy Elephant
5. Giant Panda
6. Polar Bear
Process :
I used Adobe Illustrator to create my screen design.
I used the text tool to create a simple title for my screen design.
The Pen Tool is used to create the vectors of the animals.
6 nearly extinct vectors of animals are created using the Pen Tool.
Final Work :
The title of my conceptual screen design is "Almost Gone".
I used the vector of the animals that are nearly extinct to represent themselves.
For my Conceptual Screen Design, when you click on the animal, information about the extinction of that animal will appear.
