Character Color Timeline- 120 points

In this link you find, the first season of Switched at Birth and how the clothing on both Bay and Daphne have changed throughout the season. Overall, their clothing color didn't change much since it is more focused on how their personalities are rather than their emotions and feelings in each episode. For example, Bay is more serious and likes danger and is welling to overcome anything and is very determine in what she wants in life and wont let anyone get in her way. Although she does have a soft side when it comes to her boyfriends she will always have a depressed side of her that the audience starts to realize. On the other hand, Daphne is more caring and independent in what she does. Both characters have similar personalities at times which creates conflicts throughout the season which their clothing will start to turn darker as they try to "destroy" each others lives in some way.

Not My Style- 60 points

The Regular Show: Muscle Man
 
Original: in this image, Muscle Man is structured as an overweight character who has a big head and always have his shirt either off or showing his stomach to emphasis his fat. he has small feet and hands so that way the audience's focus is on his stomach and face. His structure involves circles and squares. Hi face is shaped as a square and his body is more of a circle.
The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack: in this image, Muscle Man is structured as if he were part of the show Flapjack. He has more details and showing in his hair and face to bring out more of a realistic style. His head is the same size but his body is more proportional as well as his hair.


 
My Style: in this image, Muscle Man is structured the way I would draw him. His head is proportional with his body, and his is slightly thinner. His stomach is still showing and his hair hasn't changed. I made his face more of a round shape than square and kept his body circular. He has more of a relax characteristic with how his eyes are half way closed and his smile. His hair has texture than the original picture.

Words + Images- 30 points

 
 
For my visuals I decided to use aquatic images in order for the audience to relate to the poem. For the third image (the girl in the water), this relates to what that part of the poem in saying. The seventh image (the ocean being held) represents that the ocean might be frightening and mystery at times, but if we believe, we are able to hold the wondrous it holds within our hands.
