Silk scarf is a kind of clothing accessories that people often use in life. It is also one of the fashionable items in the fashion industry with a relatively high utilization rate and high decorative strength. Audrey Hepburn said: "When I wear a silk scarf At the time, Inever felt that I was a woman,a beautiful woman soclearly." "I only have a shirt, a skirt, a beret,a pair of shoes, but 14 silk scarves." In the eyes of fashionable girls in the 1920s, silk scarves were an unattainable dress-up holy product. At this time, silk scarves are expensive to make; even for the middle class, they are like Luxury goods.

color
Tool: Photoshop/SAI
Regarding the use of colors, I opted for neutral shades that can be used by both males and females. Additionally, I explored the WGSNxColor website to identify the most popular colors expected to be used in 2023. I then assigned these five colors to represent images of five different endangered species.

Icon
I designed the animal images as small, logo-like icons and accompanied each one with a brief description of the respective animal.

Cover design
Regarding the cover, I incorporated my pen name "Makirrow" into the logo design. I stylized the letter "M" to resemble mountain ranges, which combines both my name and elements from nature.

Morelia viridis
The green tree python (Scientific name: Morelia viridis) is a non-venomous snake species belonging to the Pythonidae family within the suborder Serpentes. It is primarily found in New Guinea, the Indonesian Archipelago, and Australia's Cape York Peninsula. Green tree pythons are highly arboreal, spending most of their time in trees, and they are characterized by their vibrant green coloration.
Currently, the most significant ecological threat to the green tree python is the gradual destruction of its primary habitat, especially in Western New Guinea, where deforestation is particularly severe due to Indonesian occupation.
