Assignment #1

Abigail Rufusette - Protagonist

 

 Abigail (color)

 

This picture of a mountain with green trees and a white cloud-covered sky is fitting for my picture of Abigail Rufusette because it corresponds with the Ohio University school colors, green and white. Abigail is supposed to represent a typical partying Ohio University student, so she is in a green atmosphere, just like this picture. The differing shades of green in Abigail's picture corresponds to the multiple shades of green in this picture. There are lighter shades of green on the mountain in the background, as well as a nearly black dark green color that corresponds to the clothes that Abigail is wearing.

Abigail (light)

 I chose this picture of a bar-like atmosphere because of the dark, hazy picture of Abigail Rufusette. Since she is always partying, she finds herself in dimly lit, basement like places like the ones shown in her photo below. There are only a couple of primary light sources in the above photo, just like there is only one overhead light in Abigail's picture below. The time of the bar scene above is during the night time, the same time that Abigail's party is likely to be going on. Certain parts of the bar room are left in shadow, just like certain parts of Abigail's room are shadowed.

Abigail (shape)

The picture of these two girls slouching fits Abigail's character as she is seen in a relaxed party atmosphere, leaning slightly forward as she leans to throw a ball. She is not standing straight up, but is focused on having a good time and not paying any attention to her image or posture. The girls above clearly care little for how others see them, and neither does Abigail even as she has friends watching in the background while she slouches in a careless way. The two girls above are also dressed in a loose, casual way, just as Abigail is wearing jeans and a loose jacket below.

 David X. Cohen - Antagonist

 David X. Cohen (color)

Just like the simple black and white design of dice, David X. Cohen is dressed in black and has white hair, along with a white shirt under his coat. There are slightly different shades of gray in the picture above due to the shadows of the dice, there is a slightly different shade of white on the side of David X. Cohen's head, as well as a darker shade of black on his coat where the collar makes a shadow. Looking at the colors in a more metaphorical way, there are no other colors on the dice to distract from the numbers on each side, just as David X. Cohen looks at everything in black and white, whether someone is within the law or not.

  David X. Cohen (light)

 The shadowy figure in this picture relates to David X. Cohen due to the fact that he is a shadow in a very blurry and hazy atmosphere, just as David X. Cohen is always shady, searching in poorly lit places for those who might be breaking the law, like the party atmosphere where Abigail is in. Even when people who are breaking the law might think that no one can see them because they are in such dark places, David X. Cohen is there, a figure in the shadows,  just as the figure above is there, standing tall and looking for rule breakers. The lighting of the red and black colors above are also similar to David X. Cohen's background above.

David X. Cohen (shape)

This picture depicts military figures standing at attention, whose shape is similar to how straight up David X. Cohen is sitting below. His shoulders are very square and his head is looking straight ahead, just as if he was standing to attention himself. His erect and proper posture reflects the nature of his work, which is to correct those who are not quite as rule following as him, like Abigail above. His sitting up straight demonstrates that he is well within the confines of the law and will punish those who do not align themselves as well with the law.
