My Facebook
profile picture was taken over the summer at a park located in southern New
Jersey. At the time the picture was
taken, myself along with my friends were preparing to leave for college and
start a new chapter in life. Considering
this important information, I would say that my picture is a visual
representation of how I live my life.
This picture portrays myself as adventurous, fun loving, and
active. I consciously chose this picture
to represent myself because I knew that I would be meeting many new
people. This way, the new people who
“friended” me on Facebook would have this picture as their first impression of
me.
The main
focus of my profile picture is myself (as most profile pictures are). Compared to the background, I stand out thanks
to lighting and bright colors. The
sunlight focuses on me and the brightness of my red baseball cap and patterned
dress suggest that I am lively, or that I “light up” whatever situation I am
in. Another feature that seems to stick
out in this picture are my teeth, which are gleaming an extraordinary white
thanks to the sunlight. The focus of my
smile suggests that I am enjoying myself and like to have fun. Also, my big “thumbs up” definitely indicates
that I am having a good time by appealing to the emotions of the viewer.
The
surroundings of my profile picture also send across a particular message. The large catfish and fishing rod show that I
was fishing that day and supports the argument that I am an active individual. The background that makes up the setting of
the photograph displays a lake, along with a beach on a very sunshiny day. This setting alone sets a mood for the entire
picture. The outdoorsy feel and bright
environment help lift the spirits of the viewer and send off a very positive
feel. With the contribution of bright
colors, sunlight, joyful expression, and lively environment, my Facebook
profile picture sends the message that I am an active and overall happy person.
