This is what a google image search returned for 'policeman' I found that no matter what I searched the images gave a typical stereotype for policemen, and that was either a 'grumpy', 'goofy' or 'over weight' look, I feel that this is slightly harsh and it doesn't present a very good image to children, so I have decided to create a hero-type policeman, with a skin tight suit which will compliment his muscles and give a positive hero figure to the target audience which in this case is young children.
My inspiration has come from media groups which enter schools and inform children about specific behaviours, or events. For example when I was at school, I remember the fire brigade coming in and doing a day event about their jobs and actions by people, showing the school the consequences of actions, they were informing the school about arson and what effects it can do, I am hoping to create a similar story line to give an educational animation considering the target audience.
I then did a good search for 'Super heroes' to try and find some typical characteristics for them, this is what the search revealed:
I came to conclusion that typical super heroes are very 'top heavy' this means that they're very muscular from the abdominal area upwards, and the muscles in the chest, arms and shoulders are exaggerated this gives them a very strong and powerful looking pose, this is also complimented by the type of clothing they wear, which is typically skin tight. I will be combining these characteristics with a policeman to give him a hero type presence.
