An Avatar's Purpose

An avatar is a safe way to represent a real person online. A person can personalize their avatar to make it fun and interesting for another person reading their blog. An avatar is creative form to express thoughts and messages without risking a damage to their digital footprint. 


My favorite avatar is the the one I used by using the site Build Your Wild Self. This site was such a fun experience because of their many options in customizing your avatar. It allowed for my imagination to to its job in representing how I wish to be portrayed. I began building my "wild self" by going to their website at Build Your Wild Self and clicking "START". I chose a simple hair style, then brown eyes, then a flamingo mouth. I am wearing a heart printed shirt and a brown skirt. For head gear i chose antlers, for feet I chose bird feet, for arms I chose monkey arms, and for ears I chose rabbit ears. I also have gorgeous peacock feathers as well as beautiful butterfly wings.  My habitat background is in the ocean with fishes swimming past me.  All these animated details are simply exciting and attractive. I took advantage of the site's impressive animal options and accomplished to make an AWESOME avatar. I love my avatar. It's amazing..not only because it's creative but also because it captures a gorgeous combination of animals and insects. :D
