The Process
The imperfect cardboard robot head (aka 'Mike') was made by hand. The robot head was built with cardboard, spray and acrylic paints and a little rubber cement. This prototype was photography for custom imagery for a research report of IT hottest topics and trends and also served as inspiration for a bobble-head.

The Character
Mike's a tech marketer, but he's a cold one. His impersonal, clueless nature is present in the rut of routine of cold-calls he can't seem to stop making. Uncertainty is written in his blank stare and furrowed brows... the complete antithesis of a smart tech marketer.
