Saving Face
In light of all of the hubbub around my new twitter image, I ask this question. Is your icon you or vice-versa? I like to see my image as an extension of myself. I think it’s important to show face on twitter to prove you’re real. I think it was Yale that discovered that those with professional/airbrushed images were considered pompous or not trustworthy to a sample-representative group and those without actual pictures tend to make people feel like they’re talking to the man. Not like “hey, you’re the man” but more like “the man is keeping us down.”
So back to my picture, what is your perception of the photoshoped creative icon? Mine shows my actual face, the logo of my company, and even a little of that style… and FMT says it’s creepy… like Harry Potter creepy. You know, the guy with the weird eye? No? Google, it… no here, let me – http://tinyurl.com/mogjue
