Most pictures in my social network on Facebook are just pictures showing the face clearly. The discourse is very simple and clear. Facial expressions are the most important when it comes to non-verbal communication. Nevertheless some people are also putting a large variety of pictures as their profile photo with a organic, industrial, food&beverage content. These are the more creative users that tend to choose a different way of expressing themselves. The content could tell much more about the person.
For example: a friend of mine shows his picture in a very creative way. He used photoshop and illustrator to change the photo in a more cartoon-like result. This is how he wants to express his profession in his own so called self-portrait.
Another example: a picture showing a ‘honey-biscuit’, symoblising the sweetness from the inside and the tuffness from the outside.
I believe self-portraits are merely a symbol expressing a deeper meaning of that person. It’s merely a metaphor explaining the person or partial how that person is. A profile site is quite important to me. I use it merely to put embedded content in my own page. The content is showing my interests, visions, ideas etc. But the most important is to show others how I feel, think, what I do………. If it was merely a location where I put my stuff, and nobody would have a look at it, I won’t keep putting things on it. It’s a consuming satisfaction when somebody actually reads how I am doing.
