P2 Character Design

Character design is a combination of physical traits and narrative.The look of the character has to be informed by the personality and context.

"The face is the primary channel to express emotion of a person" - Colman (Hence the many bigheaded  
cartoon characters)

"A lot can be said in the posture and body language" - Colman

"Hands are an effective way in expressing personality " - Solarski 

"How a character carries their weight also informs us about personality-particularly which body part they lead with" - Solarski

Chest - Shows confidence perhaps also strength and hero like character (Johnny Bravo)












Pelvis - Lazy , chill and laid back (Goofy)












Head - Intelligence (Phineas)











Knees - Cowardice (Dr Doofenshmirtz)












Power and dominance resolve around expanding 

Power : Take space up + expand

Weakness : small + taking less space
