Blog # 1-Photo Deconstruction of a villain Professor Dectreum, and a hero Nemo

                                                      The Villian

    In popular culture with films such as the Matrix, computer binary code  is represented as a bunch of zeroes and ones-specifically green zeroes. Professor  Decretum is a computer genius, so his color scheme is mainly green like a computer code only it's in contrasting light, and dark saturations such as the way the binary code on the left is represented with different saturations of green on a black background.  But green is a color often associated with negative emotions such as “being green with envy”.  Of course green is also the main color of currency, so in turn it can be associated with greed.

Most devious characters such as Lex Luther, or the Joker prefer not to commit crimes in the light of day where every one can see them, and Professor Decretum is no exception. Instead they prefer to commit the crimes when they're be most safe at night, where the shadows of the dark will hopefully keep them hidden, and stop anyone from interefering with their designs. But of course there has always been something eerie about what is hidden in the dark, that twinge of fear that comes from the unknown, with an impulse to automatically assume the worse. For characters lurking in the shadows often have no redeemable qualties about them, and they should be feared.

Now the shape of Professor Dectreum's head is a triangle. There are certain aspects of personality that are often associated with a triangle that are very fitting for a villain. Amongst them being highly motivated, ambitious, and a very huge ego to top it all off. These traits make the villain a serious threat to hero and others, as they will not let anything stand in their way, not respect for the law, and not even the lives on innocent bystanders. Nothing matters to them in their twisted minds except achieving their own goals. But despite all this their ego is what usally leads to their down fall.


                                               The Hero

Ironically enough Professor Dectrum's greatest threat is a sentient robot that he created called Nemo. Nemo is decked out in a blue and yellow color scheme, that he himself created. The blue is in a light saturation, why the yellow is in a darker saturation. The blue represents his desire for peace, and calm to return to the world against the chaos, and insatiability imposed on it by Professor Dectreum. The yellow represents his optimism that one day the long battle between the two will one day come to an end. The happinies and joy brings is also in direct contrast with the cold, unfeeling green of Professor Dectreum.

As opposed to Professor Dectreum's triangular shaped head, Nemo's shape is more round, and circular. The Professor unfeeling actions threaten the world, and it is Nemo who is the one who tries to keep things safe from the deranged Professor. Nemo is a hero, a peace keeper, which is what the circle represents. Nemo is also empathic with other beings, and generous. Nemo is also a very warm character, in great contrast with ambitious, and goal  motivated Professor. Also where the Professor with his triangle-shaped head has a huge ego, Nemo with is circular shape is more self-critical of his thoughts and actions as a hero

In a world where Professor Dectreum has seemingly plunged the world into darkness, Nemo is in a sense the "shining light" as it were but it's more than that. Nemo, and the Professor are both very technologically based characters-a robot, and a computer program contaminated with a virus. But that's where it ends as the two are totally opposites. Nemo is good, the Professor is evil. But since the two are similarly themed, they sort of compliment each other in a way like ying and yang. Also in that sense, the two are locked in a never ending battle, similar to the battle between the Joker and Batman, and in this battle Nemo is the light, and the Professor is the dark; two forces at contast war that can never seem to defeat the other for good
