EXP 1 Submission

The Strategy
The letter and number combination for my island is N and 5. I have used 3 strategies to reveal and conceal my letter and number combination. The three strategies are placement of objects, shadows and the shape of the terrain. On the macro scale, I have shaped the island to be in shape of an N and 5 by creating rivers running through and around the terrain, with smaller islands around it. In some parts of the terrain I have strategically placed objects- natural and man made to shape up my letter and number. As for the micro scale I have used the vegetation to create the letter N and number 5, for example, small sticks stacked to form an N or rocks placed together to form a 5. I also used the shadows of the trees to create the letter N, which I think was the most difficult thing to achieve. Also for one of scales for my number 5 I have placed 5 barrels in my terrain, the reason for doing this is that I think it is a very subtle way to reveal the number as the viewer is expecting to see the number 5 instead of 5 shown through items.
