No distractions please!
Is what I wrote in my prior post in this series where I summarized som some rules of thumb for great avatars.
Hats can create devastating shadows!
Here an example of a very distracting hat: You can’t see his eyes. Too much shadow overcast his eyes. No chance of recognizing him ever in a crowd.
I’ve met Mark Sukhija (@MarksTravels) in London during Travel Blog Camp last year. As his Twitter shorty says he is a “financial services exile”. In other words he used to be in a corporate cubicle of a well respected London based financial institution…
Now look at this portrait and tell me what do you think of the person without having met him and knowing from me he is a real nice and neat person with a typical London Financial District drawl?
Would it help showing his downsized portrait that he currently uses on Twitter?
Just interested to see your reaction.
Update:
Mark’s First reaction:
Perhaps I’m not supposed to be recognised in a crowd!;-)
nice to read out.
