This color scheme I found when i search through Pinterest. These colors could represent the personality and emotions of an elephant. The blue is when they're calm, the purple when they're feel active, the pink for when they're excited or happy. This color would be great for a background because you can have a wide selection depending on the post or the mood you're in.

While looking for cute elephant designs online. I cam across this on Pinterest, I wanted to find some sort or decal or something to put on a canvass. This isn;t only inspirational but it's cute! People love inspirational quotes and it just makes it 10 times better that it's shaped like an elephant. This also relates to my other posts by bringing awareness to the community and hopefully we can make a difference.

This piece of jewelry I saw on my friends key ring. It was cute but elegant and really made me thing about my blog as soon as I saw it. This could be used as a simple back ground just using to make a collage and have it sitting in the back ground. The key ring is exactly what I've been talking about throughout the whole blog, Elephants, it shows they are iconic and loved by many people.

As I was looking through pinterest for some craft ideas I cam across this font and new it's what I would want to use for my blog. The name of this font is Quirlycues. This would be used for the text, I feel like it's a fun and appealing font. This connects to elephants they are energetic, outgoing and fun and I believe this font displays that. This font is eye catching and easy to read.

Like most college students I found my self browsing Pinterest and I came across this cute color pattern.  These are really popular this year so I thought it wpuld be great to use when designing a tapestry. Also popular this year anything spiritual is what people are looking for, so each of these colors could be a background color with the design of an elephant on it. The blue is a calming color, while the peach is a vibrant up-beat color. These colors would be a good representation of different characteristics and personalities of elephants. The last blue can represent how they can be soothing not only to each other but to humans. The orange can represent their spunky and loving personality. I believe these could also be used as a background for my blog.

Save the Ivory










https://www.google.com/search?q=elephants+with+pink+tusks&biw=1366&bih=643&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwjwmtDU1IXMAhUBx4MKHXYYBNoQ_AUIBygC#imgrc=kiOxCH_7dU0onM%3A
Humans are elephants only natural predator. Every year thousands of elephants are killed for their tusks. Ivory is hard to come buy and extremely expensive since people can't get it when they need to they result to poaching. This has become a huge issue, so now scientists are trying new things to keep elephants from beimg killed. There is talk about a chemical being using on elephants tusks that isn't harmful to the animal but will make the ivory useless. It would be a huge break through and accomplishment to have this being used as soon as possible.
