The first part I will discuss is the fact that everywhere I would usually be wearing clothes (excluding feet) is grey. This is because I'm not very interesting when it comes to brands or styles so I feel it shows how I might as well feel on a regular basis compared to how some people are always worrying about what they're wearing and how they look.
Similarly with my hair I have kept it large and orange as this in my opinion is my most defining feature as it is probably one of the first things you would notice if you saw me. It's an extension of the clothes idea in that I don't use styling products or even a brushes so it's almost giving it a feel of running wild. It also links to one of my main needs which is to make people laugh which I usually do with self-deprecation and having awkward and large hair is another way of doing that.
My hands and feet on this model are both green as these are also two of my slightly larger features which I feel are out of proportion with the rest of my body and alienates them from the rest of it.
The positioning of the body is supposed to be pulling off a dance move, this was planned as a continuation of wanting to make people laugh as one of the ways I do this is with the basic idea of looking stupid which generally makes people laugh.
This is the same principle as Gauntlett's Theory Of Representation in which he used LEGO to asked people to try and represent themselves in a model which would represent their identity using the colours and shapes to represent their own identities.
Great work, Ed.
