My idea for Clay is to have him in warmer colours to represent his more physical, classic nature and relationship to the human world. This includes various tones of red, probably leaning more towards the mid-darker shades. Subtle hints of gold could be used, such as on buttons etc.

Related personality types to the colour red that fit with Clay are :
  • Optimistic and Courageous 
  • Practical and grounded attitude 
  • Explorers and pioneers of the world
  • Passionate and enthusiastic about life
  • Hard worker and enjoys physical labour


Related personality types to the colour gold / yellow that fit with Clay are :
  • Happy disposition / Cheerful
  • Creative - coming up with ideas
  • Smart dresser


I feel as Clay is aware of the human world and interacts with it, he understands the principles of dressing in a smarter way for work (providing his role calls for it). Therefore with his outfit I want a kind of "casual - chic" effect - not a complete suit and tie, but within professional standard boundaries. He is not an uptight character and his outfit should reflect his more casual - esque nature, so comfort and freedom for movement is essential. However, as he does express an interest in style within the film, he still has to withhold a look that makes him seem thoughtful to his fashion sense.

For chip I wanted to express his relationship to technology and the CG universe, using more cooler toned colours such as light, icy blues and silvers. 


Related personality traits to the colour blue that fit Chip are :
  • Need for peace and harmony - doesn't like having his feathers ruffled (cursor)
  • Confident, but may be hiding a vulnerable side
  • Unpredictability overwhelms him
  • Can be quite emotional
  • Cautious and worry about everything
  • Prone to self pity

Chip's outfit is a lot more futuristic, mixing elements of technology, metal, space suits and superheroes - pushing him further away from the human world and acknowledging his lack of connection with them. This was a lot harder to find images on, however elements from this mood board provide a good basis to work from on creating something. I particularly like the use of the metal bands around the wrist and shoulders.
