Representation


 
Representation *1 – The man




 
On first impressions alone when I look at the man having not met him he looks like a tramp. He has a long beard and long hair and is smoking. This is the classic appearance of most beggars in Leicester. This could suggest the man is homeless and is in fact a beggar. He also has patched up trousers that are too short and his shoes are scuffed. He may have a drug or alcohol problem that may have led to him being in debts and homeless.

This is in fact a very wealthy interior designer who works for Ralph Lauren. His ‘scuffed’ shoes are £200+ and his patched trousers that are too short are his choice of fashion and style. His shirt and jacket are new and look ironed. His trousers aren’t dirty, they are clean and ironed.


Representation *2 – The mad Lady

Personally this lady looks crazy and out of place in the picture. She looks strange with her multi coloured outfit on and stood in front of some dull grey council flats. She looks like she is on the way to some sort of fancy dress party and or could be wearing it for a bet. She looks and elderly lady and looks very ‘unique’ to be kind. Also her hat looks like a miniature umbrella that has had paint spilled on it.

This in fact is a very well thought after lady who is on first name terms with many different fashion labels and is gifted top clothes/ dresses and jewellery to publicise. She does this when she is in newspapers and magazines wearing their clothes.

 
Representation *3 – The Businessman

The man in the picture (right) looks like a manager of a business. He looks well dressed in a smart casual suit with no tie which suggests he is high up in the business or even owns the business. In my mind he looks aggressive and intimidating due to his facial expression in the photo. He looks very trustworthy and in the photo looks like he is reading some cheques which again suggests business man.

However this man happens to be a mass murderer up on charges in court for killing over 30 people. The suit was provided by the state which makes him look appropriate in the court of law. He used his good looks to draw people in, get them to meet him and then kill them. This very much proves you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover!
