Facebook Mock-up: Presenting Kayla

My younger sister is crazy beautiful.
To jump-start my understanding of visual communication, I present a description of a mock Facebook profile for Kayla Joy.

Profile Picture:
The bright blue sky behind her accentuates her brilliant blue eyes and intensely friendly smile. She's suspended mid-air--flying toward the camera. Her funky colored Chucks jut out behind her. The trampoline is out-of-frame but the momentum of her bounce translates into a crisp action shot. Although many people would alter the image with photo editing tools, Kayla's profile picture would be candid and natural, in reflection of her innocent lack of ability to present herself as something better, different, or worse than she is.

Applications:
Being rather ignorant of the many applications available on Facebook, I cannot list exactly which applications she would choose but I know it would be many. No Zombies, probably pirates. Sticky notes, maybe. A flower garden absolutely. Videos, fun-wall, etc. She enjoys detailed care-taking; all her friends would have so much fun interacting with her through the various applications now available. It would be a busy list, but precisely arranged and maintained.

Information:
Parental supervision would keep many details out of her information section, but the quotes, favorite movies, music, etc. would be full of fun updates that reflected her current and long-standing interests. Once she had initially filled the form, updates would be frequent but irregular. Many other activities occupy her interests, but connecting to people definitely ranks high on her list.

Photos:
In Facebook, Kayla would gain a forum to present all her pictures and therefore increase her picture-taking fun. Lots of photos with friends, probably updated frequently. The albums would be prominently listed in the column of applications (most likely right below the FunWall).

To summarize, Kayla Joy's Facebook profile:

* fun, colorful, and full of friends
* busy but precisely organized and carefully maintained
* frequently but not obsessively updated

These aspects of her profile would display her personality clearly and reflect her desire to connect with people and enjoy life alongside an excellent group of friends. :)
