Darby Jackson - Profile Picture

A Facebook profile picture can tell a lot about a person. All parts of the image can really show who the person is and what they’re interested in. My profile picture does this exactly and sends a message to the audience viewing it. I am pictured with my roommate, Lauren, and we are wearing Clemson overalls tailgating before the Clemson vs. South Carolina football game. We are happy because we thought we had a chance against South Carolina (just kidding, kinda). This picture shows our spirited nature, since only the spirited wear orange Clemson overalls. It documents our first Clemson USC game as Clemson students; a memory that will most definitely last a lifetime. The photographer of this picture is one of our other friends who had just taken a picture with her roommate. Roommate lovin’ before the Clemson game! WOOHH! The intended audience was our Facebook friends because that’s where all the pictures we take end up. The caption of this profile picture is “Friendship isn’t about whom you have known the longest…It’s about who came, and never left your side.” This caption explains a lot of the picture. It shows the relationship I have with my roommate and how long I have known her (in a general sense—not very long). When someone views the picture they are able to see that I have at least one friend in college, which is a really great thing. The cropping of the photo also puts the emphasis on my roommate and I. The background is out of focus and does not have that much detail. The picture itself is pretty much only about our friendship as roommates. A Facebook profile picture can really be worth a thousand words and if someone is wondering about what kind of person you are, a simply look at their profile picture might be the only thing they need to see.
