Turn lights off... let the Earth breathe!!!
(I was inspired by the whole "plant in a bulb" idea...so decided to make my own interpretation of it.. :) (5 years and 3880 days ago)
Introducing my prototype for an "ozone hole filler"... I know it's probably never going to be build, but you can't blame me for hoping and wishing. Seriously it's always been of great concern to me that the ozone layer is getting thinner and thinner... I can't swim :-(
This is not supposed to look realistic, just to show off my prototype...
I designed the machine in Illustrator. It's just different shapes put to together.
The rest was done in PS. Also just selections filled with either a gradient or like for the snow mountains I used rendered fibers and adjusted the opacity etc...
The clouds are a brush I adjusted with the help of a tutorial (link provided)
Do I have to add an SBS?
Thanks for looking and voting... (5 years and 3883 days ago)
hehehehehehe.. this is very on theme author.. I remember when I was a kid we had an ozone day and all the pet rabbits died.. a puncture in the ozone killed all the domestic animals in a tiny area about 100 miles from my house.. scared me to death.. dern fluorocarbons.. nice on theme entry.. CUTE
why cant you swim??? and @ Golem, why did you have ozone day, and why did the rabbits die lol... im in australia and so long as we put on sunscreen we run around outside 10 hours a day lol
I never really learned how to swim... I was going to ask Golem the same question, but then I thought it was probably a story the teachers told their students to make them more aware of what's going on around them? Am I right?
good thought
good
Added an SBS as requested by the moderators...
very nice
what is this machine doing? is it cleaning, producing or expanding the ozone layer?
I hope one day they'll be able to come up with something like this to close the hole in the ozone layer... actually it's not a hole if I remember correctly... it's just really thin overthere, so this machine is adding ozone to bring it back to its original size... Hopeful thinking I know...
There are some nice persuasive poster designs here, but so far this is the only entry that's on the theme.

very nice![](http://www.pxleyes.com/forum/images/smilies/1.gif)
Looks very similar to this: http://www.stockxpert.com/browse_image/view/42608631
yes Paulus...and? it has nothing to do with it though..this is my interpretation of "go green" and I've seen a tree in a light bulb everywhere..it has been done before... and that is why I wanted to give it a shot...
Hi Paulus62. You are right (How you found it?), but still it's a good job.
I don't understand what the problem is? the idea is the same..but the execution is totally different... and for your info : I hadn't even seen that picture...
for me very nice!![](http://www.pxleyes.com/forum/images/smilies/3.gif)
Nice idea i like it good luck!
there is nothing wrong with being inspired by something. the "go green" idea itself has been done a lot of times before. as for the image itself, it's flawless as far as i can see so high marks from me!![](http://www.pxleyes.com/forum/images/smilies/1.gif)
Thank you elficho!
I have to agree with elficho, great blending, nicely done.
I will definately say INSPIRED from the Paulus LINK (I will say, what EAGLE eyes you have Paulus.. Fantastic) and It's good to have that as a reference.. but this is extremely different work and image.. high Marks from me as well, this is a tree inside a 25/45 watt laying on it's side with a definate light source while the image in question is a hand held vertical with NO shadow cast and a seedling tree, not a grown one) they are two totally different images in the same vein.. It would be like me drawing a ketchup jar from a restaurant I ate at this afternoon.. (and thank you for my babble![](http://www.pxleyes.com/forum/images/smilies/1.gif)
AUTHOR.. save yourself some grief and Place a link as reference in your SBS or just say.. I've seen something like this on the web and thought I'd try it.. You know.. the usual BS, it really helps prevent confusion (Oh yeah.. YOUR SBS is mind blowing in it's simplicity when I know a whole lot more work into it.. YOWZA)
This is really a well done image...![](images/smileys/bigthumb.gif)
Amazing job! GL!!!![](http://www.pxleyes.com/forum/images/smilies/3.gif)
nice ideea
Just a thought here...the angle suggests that there would be more dirt spilling into main area of bulb. It would also set it apart from the references that everyone is talking about. Nice work, author! Excellent execution and the simplicity you kept is really nice.![](http://www.pxleyes.com/forum/images/smilies/113.gif)
This is great!
nice job![](http://www.pxleyes.com/forum/images/smilies/1.gif)
nice approach!
i am impressed, very good job
This is an excellent image! Well done author. One small nitpick. The shadow of the tree just seems a little small in comparison to the lightbulb shadow IMHO. I'm no expert in drawing shadows myself mind you, but it's just how it seems to me. Good luck

Your image is a far supperior to the one (link) that Paulus noted... I think you did a very good job - the tree really looks like it is behind the glass - good job
That's a really good idea
but how does it gives light? :P
nice! i think this could work better if perhaps you get a picture of you holding it, so that you can see through the bulb, and see you (the transparency effects could prove quite impressive rather than just a white background...) have you hold it close to the 'camera' and blur out the background of you, as if it were a perspective shot. just an idea, but i believe it could make this already great image even better.![](http://www.pxleyes.com/forum/images/smilies/3.gif)
I think its a great image - well done - Sadly i dont think it fits the theme..
gooooood one !!!!!!!!!!!!!
It would be good to see an image in this contest that's actually on theme, but this is a well made pic...
Love this one! Great idea and well done!
good job! your idea has more of a symbolic meaning which i think it's great
Pure genius!
like it a lot
very nice idea![](http://www.pxleyes.com/forum/images/smilies/113.gif)
