Cracked

I find your idea very interesting. I understand that you are trying to get at authenticity, something that is generally very lacking in profile pictures since we do tend to spend a lot of time making sure we look as good as we can. However, I am a little confused about how you will be getting that across with a photoshopped image. To me this idea of authenticity might mean an image of oneself right after getting up in the morning, no hair brushing, nice clothes or makeup. I do agree however that this is a very interesting issue to address via facebook since an overwhelming amount of pictures are of people being happy when most people are not all the time. I look forward to seeing what kind of response you will get.

I think the idea behind it is amazing. A lot of people comment on how on Facebook people's lives look so amazing because they only show the highlights of their life and I think it's a great idea to upset that and show a more authentic version of yourself. However, like Nicole I'm slightly confused as to how an image with a crack in it gets that point across. I think her idea of an image right after getting up in the morning with no filter or editing is good but if you want to focus more on how people are not always happy, maybe find a more candid image of when you weren't smiling or happy. Just an idea, I think it'll be a great project and good luck!
