Creativity and New Media

Creativity fosters from new media. As you can see below, I've attempted to create an avatar of myself. Although it doesn't look exactly like me, there is some resemblance. Basically what you see in the pictures is a real image of me and an attempted replica of me. The other images are the features that is included in an app called FaceQ. The app allowed me to choose various character traits which led onto building a resemblance of me. I was able to choose the hair style, hair color, face shape, skin color, eyebrows, mouth, and clothing. One feature allowed the user to be even more creative by allowing the user to add a dialogue bubble, like in comic books. By using the new media tool, I was able to recreate myself into an avatar form.

  1. This is really cool, I think that it is interesting that you are trying to make your avatar resemble yourself. New media really creates an opportunity for people to be something other than themselves. Maybe next time you can experiment with this application and see other forms that you can take.
