Representation Notes - The Man

From the image of the man, my first impression was that he might not have had the best lifestyle for a while because of the patchy trousers and the 'tough' look put across by his body language. Also, his beard and his hat would give passers by the impression that he either wants to be ignored or doesn’t really care what people think of him. However, as I looked closer at the picture, he is smoking, which implies that he must have some money in order to pay for them and his beard is not 'scruffy’, showing that there is more to this man than someone might think. I did have an idea that maybe he is not what we would have thought at first and it did prove that when actually he is a successful person in the fashion industry. 'Never judge a book by its cover' was the appropriate expression that I could think of when finding out who he really is and I know that film/TV producers and directors use our automatic stereotyping in order to create a character(s) and judge them immediately before when know anything about them.
