Week 3: Feature Channels and Visual Search

(via Tell a Lie | Henry Hadlow)

The feature hierarchies are relatively distinct within the frame in that the man in the center is the most prominent aspect of the image. The eyes are then lead to the object in his hand, which is seemingly erasing his own body. Following the path of his erasure towards the toolbar on the left, the visual search is straightforward and quickly allows the viewer to realize the parody of the Adobe Photoshop program. With the uniform white and grey checkered pattern throughout the frame, it is simple for the eye to be drawn to the man in black as the color serves as a harsh juxtaposition against the default background. Color and shapes are extremely relevant to the feature hierarchy of the image in that the shapes allude to the Photoshop motif. Despite the relatively monochromatic color scheme of the image, the color is important to begin the sequence of eye movements.
