Intention: 

I want to look at the difference between Tumblr and Facebook. They clearly have different uses, one being more anonymous and where one can post personal opinions with no one knowing who you are and the other being much more public and almost like a first impression of you to anyone who looks up your name. This difference between two sites with the same goal of being a place where you can be yourself online have become vastly different and this difference really interests me. 

On Tumblr my profile picture is a drawing whereas on Facebook my profile picture is a photo. I've decided I'm going to swap the mediums and have my Facebook photo be a drawing and my Tumblr a photo of myself. The intent behind it was to comment on how the differences between social media platforms and to look at how I brand myself in different social media networks. I doubt anyone will react strongly on either social media platform but my intention is to challenge the norm of profile pictures on each social media website. 

I plan on drawing a rough sketch of my next profile picture and upload that as my new Facebook photo and I plan on taking a photo of myself in a way similar to the drawing.
