Look at Me!!!

Created in DoppelMe.com

Creating an avatar was not only challenging but also very frustrating.  I  was excited to try something new and wanted to be extremely creative when it came to making my own avatar.  Unfortunately at first, my struggles were more than my enjoyment.  I tried all the programs given in the assignment.  The avatar I liked the best was with the program bitstrips character creator.  Unfortunately, I was having trouble signing on.  No matter if I used my Gmail, Facebook or an alternative Facebook account, the program was not recognizing my email.  As you can image my frustrations and therefore I went to another program.  I tried my luck with DoppelMe.  It was fun, easy and creative. Although it was not my first choice, I still had fun creating a computer version of myself.  It was interesting creating and sculpting my features.  The reason I choose to dress the way I did was because of my profession.  I am very rarely dressed in "nice" clothes.  By "nice" I mean a dress or dress pants.  I am a physical education teacher and therefore have the privilege to wear khaki's and a collared shirt almost every day of the year.  A down fall to being a physical education teacher is I do have to wear my hair up most of the time which is why I choose to do so in this avatar.  Once my avatar looked like me, I choose to create a beach background.  The beach is a place I go to get peace and quiet.  Something about sitting next to a very large ocean, listening to the waves is not only calming but also rejuvenating.  In conclusion, I really enjoyed making an avatar for this assignment.  Although frustrating at times, I finally was able to create one of my very own avatars!
