Found this pic on Flickr and thought it tied in nicely with my masquerade theme…
Still a bit unclear about how I’m going to put the website together and what elements I’m going to use throughout. However, I’ve also started looking at the other side of the coin. An individual wearing a mask can show more of their identity because they feel like they have a barrier between them and everyone else. It’s like social networking. Some people feel like they can be more of themselves and more open online because of the barrier provided by the computer. Going back to my theme, even something as small as an eye mask can allow a person to show more of who they are. I could show this idea simply by focusing on the facial expressions of people when they wear masks. In particular, I could focus on the eyes as they often give away more about the individual (going on the “the eyes are the windows to a persons soul” saying). Just a thought…
