Four Classic Elements:
Air
Earth
Fire
Water
The concept of my
postcard is about four classic elements Air, Earth, Fire and Water.
Here in this postcard I have use Alchemical symbols which is in
triangle form represent the four elements according to the ancient
Greek science and philosophy. The triangle it self is supposes to
give the meaning but I found it is not so interesting also it will
look like meaning less for those who are unknown about the Greek
ancient history so I played around with the triangle and put color to
make is easy to understand for all.
Air: The triangle
pointing upward and horizontal line through middle of it represent
the Air according to the Greek ancient alchemical symbol. Instead of
only using the one triangle I have created the many triangle without
destroying the shape of the triangle. Air represents the sky, a open
space. So I have use blue background to represent and used the
triangle to make it look the clouds and gave them the grey color with
white background. I have put the cloud on the top to make feel of
floating in the air and left the space on the bottom
Earth: The triangle
pointing downward and horizontal line through middle of it represent
the Earth. Here I have put the triangle in the pattern because when
it comes about earth we can see field, tree, which is kind of makes
pattern as well. I have use dark brown, light brown and green color.
Fire: The triangle
pointing upward represent the fire. I have used red and yellow with
back background to give the contrast on art. I used triangle and
tried to make it look like the flame of the fire, which is more
understandable for everyone.
Water: The triangle
pointing downward represent the water. I have used triangles to make
it look like the wave because water represents the ocean and ocean
got waves. I have use dark blue and the white border for triangle to
make wave and blue for water.
