>> Week 5 Strategy -

The letter and number I am using to form my island is "O8". As a strategy for conveying this through my island, I plan to subtly and carefully placing part of vegetation and water volumes and using the hills to form shapes.

The canyon landform is quite different to the forest or normal mountains, it's hard to get interesting and energetic vegetation to make it as real as possible. So what I am going to do is following the American Conyon as my inspiration, put some dessert plants and rocks, small river path and so on...

>> 5 different landscapes

" Landscape comprises the visible features of an area of land, including the physical elements of landforms such as (ice-capped) mountains, hills, water bodies such as rivers, lakes, ponds and the sea...The Earth has a vast range of landscapes including the icy landscapes of polar regions, mountainous landscapes, vast arid desert landscapes, islands and coastal landscapes, densely forested or wooded landscapes including past boreal forests and tropical rainforests, and agricultural landscapes of temperate and tropical regions."

Moutain Landscape

This is a image of the moutain landscape in Shennongjia, China.

The vegetations are in beautiful green color, and the landform is quiet rocky.

The light seems little dusty grey between the moutains.

Icy landscape

The icy landscape is frozen anywhere, and hardly to get any vegetation on it.

The sunshine effect quite bright on the white ice.
