and the day i figure out how to do it I will do it
though i am much closer to figuring it out on easier to love you
I'm aiming to use motifs from some of my already existing Smile maps. Currently this map contains nods to Kitsune Maison, ITRNH and YotC. Hard to implement some of the harder hitting song's ideas since it doesn't really fit the slow ballad that is Everything To Me. Also BG made by me using the live visuals as inspiration!
To further extend the messaging regarding the superficial nature of celebrities or influencers that Porter Robinson portrays and embodies through this track, "boisterous" and "loud" patterning is used. This is done through the utilization of triples and quads resulting in a "beefed up" map, representing the way some influencers make themselves feel bigger than they actually are. The uncomfortableness Porter Robinson has with being that type of influencer as a result of his success is shown by using anchors and one-handed patterns.
I utilize "clichéd" patterns throughout the map to portray that no pattern is greater than another. This is directly in line with the song's sentiment. The idea that certain patterns are better than others is strange since many times those opinions are "made out of nothing." As respected members continue to impose specific ideas in the minds of newcomers, the reasons as to why those patterns are "flawed" is lost. Though in the end, we are all "just trying to [map] good, trying not to [map] bad."
