WYSIWYG - Rachel Gu

I liked how you sought to find a numeric ratio of male to female profile photos over time, but it seems that this data does not have a lot of meaning considering that your pool of male friends to pull from is smaller to begin with. You did do a nice job of analyzing this data and categorizing it in terms of self, self+, and object photos. I think in general, this study of media would be more interesting if you focused on how your close friends choose to represent themselves, rather than on how the people you've been friends with have changed.

Hi! I really really liked your analysis. It first showed a general overview about how the ratios are, and then looked at it as a timeline and it was very well done by how you showed the graphs. The only thing that confused me was that you said "The only male had a picture of himself with someone else." right after a chart and it took me a second to understand what it meant. Other than that, your project also has a good cover photo since it shows what you are talking about; profile pictures in the past, and then in the future.

It was interesting to see your point of view regarding male and female attitudes toward profile pictures as I have experienced an opposite trend. Your suggested explanation for the trend you observed seemed very logical and plausible. I likewise enjoyed how you categorized the different types of pictures you saw to make for easier analysis. I would have liked to see more in depth analysis of some individual pictures aside from your own, but I believe this project is still good regardless.
