PATTERNS AND DISPLAYS:
Double Signaling

Double signaling is the amazing ability of a squid to send two different messages on different parts of its body to different receivers at the same time. Here a combination of zebra (towards a male outside the picture) and stripe (towards the female) is shown. In case the female and challenging male would swich sides, the double signalling squid would also switch the sides of its displays immediately. All units and components in the model are drawn unilaterally on individual layers. It is therefore possible to show such display combinations on a single picture by grouping only the unilateral components.
