Using the Phoster app I created this poster that compiles many of the verbs used on the Internet that play a role in the creation of identity online. Every action that “I” perform on the Internet builds a representation of my identity through the content attached to that action. Though I don’t believe it is always the “truest” representation of one’s identity it is still an identity and a way of portraying who we are or how we would like to be seen. I used different fonts and sizes because of the varying degree and ways that these actions may effect identity as well as the ability of different identities to exist.

This is really cool! I AM…
I like how you talk about the way we interact with online content acts as a filter that influences how we perceive ourselves and how other perceive us. What we comment on, who we follow, what we like, what we share… all of these (digital) actions are part of our (online) identity.
Great colors and fonts!
