Extra Credit - Avatar


One of the extra credit assignments includes creating an avatar of yourself. I think it's pretty cool to create one of these because it shows people on the web what you look like in a nutshell, and a little bit about your personality without revealing too much about yourself. 

When I used the doppleme website, I thought there were relatively few options you could do without actually signing up, but it was enough. I'm sure there are better out there and if someone gets really into socializing in the virtual world on sites other than facebook, I suggest you look into another website. 

A few of the options included, skin color, eye color, hair color, facial expression, clothes, and accessories. You could also choose a background. It was relatively easy to make one. It was a good learning experience. 

Here's a screenshot of my avatar:
