Representation

Doug Bihlmaier:


After analysing the image shown on him without any information, I guessed his age to be around late 50's, early 60's. Due to his patchwork trousers, baggy shirts and unshaven beard, i felt that this looked scruffy and therefore this gave me the idea that he was homeless, had a tough life and was very poor. I also came to the assumption that he was low class due to these factors.
As he is holding a cigarette in the image, this gives me the impression that he has poor health and is careless of the harm he is doing to his body. I thought that he may be smoking for comfort as he has presumably had a tough life.

About Doug Bihlmaier:
Bihlmaier has an extremely high status job, dressing/furnishing the Ralh Lauren stores around the world. He is in charge of the decision making about what objects go into the stores.


Ted Bundy:


By looking at this image, i developed an overall positive representaiton of Ted Bundy. I thought that he appeared high class as he was smartly dressed and maintained his appearance (no facial hair etc.) I belived that he was inteligant due to seeing that he was reading which also gave me the idea that he had a well paid job and was wealthy.He seemed serious in this image and therefore i was given the impression that he was working while the image was taken. Another factor that led me to beliebe that Bundy was wealthy was due to his trendy,clean clothes. He looked around the mid 30's ages and foreign as his skin was slightly tanned.

About Ted Bundy:
He was an American serial killer, rapist, kidnapper, and necrophile who assaulted and murdered numerous young women and girls during the 1970s. Bundy then was executed due to the to truth about him committing 30 homicides in seven states between 1974 and 1978.


Anna Piaggi:



Without information on 'The Woman', i developed a representation of her. I felt that the image brought across an excentric, lively character who seemed to express a large personality. I made this judgement fue to her looking overdressed and as a person who likes ot stand out fromt he crowd through the bold, bright and clashing colours involved in her outfit on the image. As she stand out, this gave me the idea that she could be lonely. I got the impression that she was over 50 and enjoys being the centre of attention. Her clothes look expensive however they could be from charity shops or be fake goods. Despite this, Anna looks happy in the image.

About Anna Piaggi:
wrote for fashion magazines such as the Italian edition of Vogue. She dressed in an exuberant, unique and eclectic way, never appearing in the same outfit more than once in public. Such was her influence and knowledge in the fashion world, she was known as "The world's last great authority on frocks".
