Reflect critically on the theme of alternate identity and personal space in an age of social networking profiles, digital environments, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc
Interesting topic, its very easy to be a different person on "social networking" sites, i think probably judge my facebook friends most on how they present their profile pictures.
There's the:
- camera in the Mirror shot showing off their alluring allure.
- the heavy make up and lots of hair and boobs/ lots of muscles for guys
- theres the ones that are allllways group shots so if you are trying to find your long lost friend from elementry school, it makes things difficult
- theres the modeled, photoshop effected ones
- the looking away from the camera one
- the ones that aren't pictures of even humans...like video game people and such
- there are the ones that change theyre pictures multiple times each week
- the look at me im somewhere cool/im well traveled ones
- the bf/gf kissing ones, yup we get it, youre together...your relationship status/ you have told me so, dont have to show me your whole relationship though...
- the look i have a red cup in my hand and im at a party, im awesome one
- the pre-going out posed pictures
- etc etc etc
i've been a victim of a number of these, its interesting though to think of the opinions people get of you in just seconds based on photos.
