Week 5 Reflection

From this lecture I learnt that subliminal messaging can be both very obvious and very discrete. The path I chose to use for my project was a combination of both. I used techniques such as decals and textures to achieve this and I also used basic numbers of certain objects to portray part of the combination. Subtle things such as the numbers of clouds in a scene. I attempted a few options with shadows but I was unsuccessful. The lecture has shown me the effectiveness of subliminal messaging and how you must carefully analyse things to truly understand their meaning.

Escape from the deserted island towards the island where you'd have a higher chance of surviving.

Week 4 Reflection

This weeks lecture we learnt about the sublime. We learnt about incorporating an awe inspiring environment within our island, something that the audience would view in amazement. The inspiration for my sublime environment is The Great Blue Hole in the Belize. This particular environment really inspired me as my level was an island based level and incorporating The Great Blue Hole into my island was a perfect blend of the theme.
