The brief in this case involved the requirement to utilise some supplied imagery which took the form of some very pretty models. Tough life sometimes. Working tirelessly with these images reminded me of something I read sometime ago regarding the popularity of your social network status being easily increased by changing your avatar image from a corporate logo to a face-shot. It appears that people prefer to connect with people rather than companies therefore? I'm intrigued by this and want to put it to the test. Here is a list of 100 really creative Twitter avatars (which at a tiny 48px width is no mean feat) which I ignored as inspiration deciding instead that sex sells. I figured that people would want to connect with pretty young models EVEN MORE than with either of us plain looking fellows and so I am about to update our Twitter Avatar (and design therein) to utilise the illustration done this week. Fingers crossed it makes a difference.
