Facebook Profile Picture Blog #2

My Facebook profile picture contains me and one of my good friends posted up chilling with our swag on. Haha, I'm just kidding. However, I definitely feel like the default picture demonstrates my personality in just a simple photograph. I believe the picture makes an argument for Allyson and I in a extremely positive manner. It clearly displays that we like to have fun and enjoy just hanging out. Our decision to make a certain face has a huge impact on the overall feel you gather from the picture. The faces we made was a strategy of invention that change the entire outlook of the photo. We could have easily frowned and made it seem like we were having a boring time at the party. Also, having taken the picture close up, one can argue that you get a much better look at our facial expressions; thus, being able to determine that we are having a good time. There is nothing really special about the arrangement of this photo; as a result, a certain argument is not being presented or put forth. I guess you could say that the picture is arranged in a way that makes me and her "precious" because someone commented on the picture replying, "Y'all are just too precious." Also, the decision to zoom in and focus on our faces makes it seem like we are the only people in the room; however, there was a person to her left and two in front of us. I also believe that showing them may have changed the overall mood of the photo but not in a major way. Finally, the canon of style is able to contribute and build a certain persona for myself. The job of style is presenting your idea, whether it be text or image, to an audience. Because Facebook is mostly a group of my younger friends, the argument I am trying to make is clear. When people look at the picture, I would want them to wish they were there and make them feel like they missed out on a good night.
