Process:

I wanted to put someone else’s photo as my profile picture so an important question would be to put whose photo. I didn’t want to put a photo of someone I didn’t know. I use WhatsApp in Turkey and nearly none of my friends in US use it, so I decided to put a picture of a friend in US. I had a difficult time choosing whose photo to put. I thought about putting another girl, putting a guy, putting two girls, putting two guys, putting one girl and one guy and at the end, I chose to put a photo of one of my closest friends in Carnegie Mellon so that it would be easy to ask permission and honestly, because it would be more fun that way then putting a photo of someone I don’t know that well. My friends from Turkey have never met him and he has never met my friends from Turkey. So they wouldn’t know who he is, which is what I wanted to do.
