I intend to take advantage of my oddly homogenous Twitter follower base to see what happens when I change my profile photo to something controversial.

By subverting and manipulating expected social media norms, I hope to make a comment about the ways in which a profile picture is a mental stand-in for personal appearance.

This project looks at the importance of 'faces' on Facebook by monitoring the response (or rather lack of) to a pixelated profile picture.

To show how people react if I lower the filter of my facebook content

Have my profile picture relate to my cover photo and see who notices/ takes the time to look at my Facebook wall.

I want to analyze people's respects to other people's religious believings and their free will. I also want to see how people react to other people's unexpected behaviors. Will they give suggestions or just giving comments on those behaviors?

The goal is to provoke a response by changing my profile on a social media platform. I intend to use confusion as my main source of provocation.

Many people get responses (likes, comments, shares, etc.) without asking for them. So what happens when I ask for responses?

I have a twin brother and it always surprises others when they get to learn the fact, which makes me feel special and proud. By putting up a picture with my twin brother, I intend to emphasize that I have always been a big sister, caring, responsible and decisive and that I am very special and lucky to always have someone grow with together. These won't contradict the image I have already established on Facebook, but it will give my audience a very different perspective to view the personality I have.

I will obscure my face and make my friends and family concerned and confused.

The goal of this project is to illustrate the effects of breaking the established social perceptions of ones online persona on Facebook.

To see how people respond to a realer representation in a profile picture. It's okay to not be okay.

The goal of this project is to monitor the reactions of people in my Facebook community when I post a profile photo that stands in stark contrast to other content uploaded of me.

The goal of this project is to bring to attention the bias we have towards faces in profile pictures. By displaying a profile picture that is solely legs, I aim to bring to attention this bias we have.

Using an image to depict my personality rather than my face

Gauge response to changing Facebook profile picture to something random.

Change my "shadow" Facebook profile picture that's outside of what's "normal" for my social media profile and analyze the effects.

An examination of how people react to a profile picture rehashing old profile pictures.

To see who actually visits my wall on Facebook and who just scrolls through the news feed. I plan to make a profile picture cover photo combo that people will only notice if they look at my wall. I plan to change the cover photo and the profile picture at different times so it is not immediately obvious.

My goal is to see what reactions I get when I change my profile picture to that of an old high school "acquaintance."

The purpose of this project is to gauge reactions to breaking the standard convention for profile pictures on social media.

Sensitivity of a project affects spreadability. The more sensitive a topic is, the less willing people are to comment or share.
