Deconstructing Antagonist

Red was used for the villain because it is linked to aggression.  Seeing a red hue on this character can also increase energy and enthusiasm.  Red for fire is often associated with evil or darkness.  This character uses a red and black color scheme. Black is authoritative and powerful which are two reasons why so many villains have black on their costume. This black hue causes a mysterious evoking sense of potential and possibility. Also, while red is a powerful color on it’s own, black adds a sense of darkness to the character giving him an ominous presence. Both great colors to show an evil being.








This character is uses sharper shapes to symbolize action or conflict.  Narrow features appear evil and sinister.  While the triangle has sharper edges giving a more evil appearance.  It also creates a sense of chaos and anger when using geometric shapes.  He is surrounded by curves making him stand out more than the background and helps focus eyes more on the character.  Having him in front of a powerful asortment of curved lines gives him a feeling of even more strength than everything around him.  Straight lines and angles add to the fact that he is planning to do something bad.




Most of the image is used with red and different shades of red and other strong colors used to emphasize power.  The light is coming from the background and makes shadows under most of the characters body features pop out more than it normally would.  This helps your eyes move throughout the whole character.  Light is a big part in this character because the colors in the background are already strong and even with it the character is still prominent in the picture.  Red, orange, and yellow are used to symbolize fire and light in the picture of the antagonist.
