WYSIWYG - Katherine Martinez

I thought the presentation of your project was very good. Th initial image quickly categorizes the pics and go into more detail below. You also very clearly explained what each category tend towards and why people tended towards that category. I'm very familiar with Tumblr so I didn't completely understand the set-up you were talking about, but you defined all the important points which made your analysis easy to follow.

This piece did a very good job communicating the various axis's along which it measured the profile pictures of tumblr users. The images used did a good job in illustrating the distribution of the profile images which helped the subsequent analysis. Something I found interesting was when analyzing the profile pictures, the author of this piece talked about the content of the blogs without giving any clear examples. Statements like "Self-representational images are often used by people uncomfortable with a very personal online persona, as well as those opting for a humorous effect." could have been reinforced by a casual screen shot or some other statement from the blogger. In all, the clean presentation of the content supplemented by graphs helped clearly get the point across and it supported the analysis made by the author.
