Secret Research, 19/10/15

In this lesson I had to research something on the new project for secrets so I looked at some art work on google and looking at the images was quite interesting. Here are some of the images that I found interesting as when I looked at the images I thought about what could be the hidden meaning behind the image and how effectively they have worked on the project and what they have included in order to make the image look like there is a meaning behind it.

Examples of secrets behind artwork:

When I looked at this image it interested me as Its showing one side of her face which I assumed was her pretending to be fine with everything going of in her life. However the other side could show her secret of what she is hiding. I thought she was hiding that she feels trapped in something which could mean anything. This to me made me think of a woman trapped in a controlling / abusive relationship and she could be acting fine but really she feels trapped in domestic violence. On the other hand it could mean she is pretending to be someone she isn't and could feel trapped as shes hiding who she really is or that shes afraid of being herself as something is stopping her so she feels trapped. There is so many explanations of what this image could mean just by looking at the image.


When I looked at this image I thought that the artist was trying to illustrate the message of that her secret is killing her or she wants to be dead because of it as the keyhole in the middle of her head resembles the secret in her mind or it could resemble that. The key is also being held like a gun would be held if she was at threat by anyone else. This image also made me think is she hiding something else as a secret and if she tells she could be at risk of dying. It sent me more of a message that the secret she is hiding is hurting and in order to be free she would need to place the key in the keyhole but the key is resembling a gun so it could mean that in order for her to be free of it, death is an answer.

When I looked at this image I thought that the hidden message behind it could mean that she knows something about a couple which could be an affair she knows about or her own affair that is going off. It also looks like shes spurring out the secret that she knows about which is powerfully illustrated with how she is taking a breath. She also looks a bit like she is running out of air so that could mean shes had enough of keeping this secret hidden and wants the world to know about this couple which could be about herself or someone she knows.


Secrets Behind Logo's:

I then looked at hidden messages behind logo's which I found very interesting and I actually found out something new. The hidden messages behind some labels are very smart and I enjoyed reading about the secret meanings and now that I have read about them I don't get why I have never noticed them before. I read through this and thought id include it in this blog as I haven't noticed that there can be a hidden meaning behind such a simple looking logo. It made me think that not everything is as simple as it really looks and there could be thousands of hidden meanings behind so many unexpected things. For example there is a hidden bear that I have never spotted until I researched about it in the mountains. Now every time I look at the mountains I can see it clearly.

The coca cola labels hidden feature is that the Denmark flag is secretly hidden between the letters 'O & L ' Its quite difficult to spot as I didn't find it at first. I only noticed once I saw a ring around it.

The Formula 1's hidden feature in the logo I thought was really good as I have never spotted it before but when I did I thought it was very clever. They have made a big bold letter 'F' but have shaped it so you can see the first half of the number 1. The red shape is then spaced just right and also formed to shape the other half of the 1 as well as representing speed with the link of the racing cars.

Secrets behind Video games:

I then remembered about a game I have played before and I've realized that its full of secrets and hidden features throughout the game. Even the title itself is 'The secret of monkey island'. The game itself is a mystery and its a mind thinking game that involves a lot of thinking and brain skills as you have to think about every action in the game by yourself and it involves picking up items a long the game and working out mind puzzles. Its a very good game. I personally like it but I myself cant remember the secret of monkey island. I think that's just the title of the game as there is sequeals of the game etc. Its quite an old game but I think its good.


There is secret hidden Easter egg's among st the game of Gta V. They are certain features that only appear on certain days, certain times or even at certain locations for example there is a dead girl easter egg that is hidden and you can only see the dead girl at a certain time for example '4-5 am' on the game time at a certain spot and location on the game. The girl can only be spotted in the mountains at 1 spot and you can only see it from a distance otherwise you will be too close.


Films & Tv shows about secrets:

This film is related to secrets by the title obviously and is about a secret chamber that is the main point of the film. The secret is about the location it's self and then what is inside the chamber of secrets. It also has a secret entry to get into the chamber keeping the main theme a secret throughout the film. The animal in the chamber of secrets was meant to be a secret but there is clues which gives that away. The secret is also who is abducting/ freezing the students at Hogwarts as its a mystery person doing that also. Basically the whole film is based on secrets.


The TV show pretty little liars is a 6 season TV programme that involves one massive secret which is who 'A' is and full of loads and loads of different secrets along the way of finding out who A is and why they are sending the liars the secret texts and trying to hurt them. The programme is full of secrets and clues and really makes the reader engage with the show as everyone's constantly guessing whose done what and who A is and what there motive is for the whole thing. So far on the programme they have admitted to who A is but the season is still not over and is still full of secrets.
