Costume design 1

When it came to designing the costume for lead character Aaron Mathews' alter ego 'Fist Justice' I wanted it to seem possible for the character Aaron played by Harvey Westwood to have been able to create this costume while having no experience in making clothing. It had to be simple and home made.

- The main red portion of the costume will be a standard plain red morph suit that can be acquired from pretty much any costume shop and very easily on the web.
-The colour red in the case on this character could have connotations of passion and love rather than anger or violence due to his kind nature as a character. The colour red is also usually considered to be common among the chosen palette of super hero costume colours e.g. Pixar's The Incredibles, Superman and Daredevil.

-Originally in earlier sketches the character wore plain black shorts to try and maintain continuity with the colour choices of the costume. Later on after deciding on the black shorts I decided on using the blue Boxer shorts above to try and make the costume come across as homemade and realistic for a teenage boy to acquire.
