Week 5

Strategy:

Since the last number of my Student ID is 0, I am going to use the second last number of my Student ID which is a 4 to work on bringing up my subliminal message.

I am planning on working with 5 range of scales to hide and reveal my subliminal message. On the biggest scale the Island itself is an 'U' shaped Island, which satisfies the last letter of my last name, and since an 'U' shaped Island is common it works well with bringing up a subliminal message as the audience would not realize there is a hidden meaning behind the shape of the Island. Also there are four small Islands surrounding the main Island to convey the subliminal message of '4'.

On the Second Biggest Scale I used textures to reveal and conceal the message of '4' and 'U', theses textures are hidden within the other textures in a slightly darker colour, so it does not really stand out to the audience at the first sight, but as they look more carefully into the textures there are able to see the concealing message. On the medium scale I used tree and house entities to reveal and conceal the message, by grouping them into 4's and creating an 'U' shaped with the houses. On the second smallest scale I used rock entities and group them into 4's. In the Smallest scale I use road paths to generate 'U' turns and 4 way intersection to reveal and conceal the message of '4' and 'U'.

Reflection:

This weeks lecture is about the Subliminal. From this lecture I was able to gain a lot of ideas on how to conceal and reveal the messages, and I decided that I would use the Island as a whole, and the objects within the Island, to try give off a subtle message for the audience.
