Default facebook guy (I would credit who designed this graphic, but for the life of me I can’t find it)
For the three of you that don’t get to my site through facebook (the same three who are the only ones I know in the world not on facebook), I thought I would share a project that I have been entertaining myself with for the past month or so that I like to call,facebook faces! For those of you not on facebook, above is the default profile picture you get when you sign up as a male on facebook. For those of you who are on facebook, maybe I should explain myself…
At the end of my very first post: PRESENCE I asked a bunch of questions that I continue to ask myself everyday as a designer. Like: ‘How do you manage the loss of privacy with the desire to be heard?’ My facebook faces project is a play on the idea of anonymity in a social network. Nerdy? Yes. Do I think you find them as entertaining as I do? No. Will I continue to make them? Depends on how long I find them entertaining. You have an idea for a facebook face? Yes, I would be happy to make one for you!

I’m not the only one not on facebook?! Sweet!
How about green man for a facebook face? (can you borrow from Sunny in Philadelphia?)
Or Mario?
Or crossdresser? (x. dresser)
I’ll keep thinking…

I happen to find these endlessly entertaining. MacGritte is a personal favorite. Though I have a soft spot for the facebug… and if you made a Mario one, you would have a good set of my Halloween costumes going…
To keep it up you would need to include grapes and the bride of Frankenstein. 🙂
OH! and if you do Todd’s costumes, you would need to make Abraham Lincoln! Could you name him “Abraham Linkedin”? even though it’s FB?!

MacGritte might be my favorite too! I think I will have to make an Abraham LinkedIn for sure. How about Facebookenstein?
