Familiarity

Becoming Unfamiliar

Testing the limits of recognition

When looking at five similar looking males, what makes them unique? What makes them distinguishable from each other? This booklet will look into what makes them familiar and what makes them unfamiliar. It will decrease in familiarity as the booklet goes on. Try to distinguish which male is which through each aspect of their persons.

Lets start with the obvious: their entire body.

Next lets look at the faces. Seemingly the easiest way people familiarize others.

Eyes are an important feature. Each set still look familiar?

What about clothing and

body structure. Still easy?

The bottom half of the face. Does the lack of eyes make it harder?

Now the easy part is over. It is half way done and time to move away from the obvious.

The back of the head. Hair is always distinguishable.

What about hands?

Do they look familiar?

Ears...

or elbows

and the hardest to familiarize with:

Its interesting what aspects of the body people choose to familiarize others with.
