Chelsea-Mai

This is probably my favourite assignment this year, getting to create someone from scratch, how they act, dress, see the world, it's role play but you have to make others believe that it is real. Instead of creating an avatar, you create a person and in my case I reinvent myself into a whole new person. I'm not saying if I had the chance to change myself I would become an orange bimbo, but it's such a brilliant role to play. I have numerous people on my own Facebook that are just like 'Chelsea-Mai' and so inspiration was endless. My main idea was to create someone with no substance... superficial. The kind of person that would not be seen dead a shade darker than orange and who doesn't understand classic films and would rather watch clueless. This kind of character was easy to create because in theory she has no depth, her biggest dilemma is that she's ran out of eyelash glue. If you look on her profile you can see all the stuff she's interested in, you can get a sense of the character I created

But Facebook was just the start, I made my character viral. She also has a Twitter, Tumblr, Hotmail and eBay account. 


Facebook and Twitter are obvious, they are the main social platforms, but I decided a Tumblr as Tumblr is often where you get to see what a person really thinks and from hers... you can see she doesn't. It will basically be full of her obsession with JLS while her eBay is a way to show the kind of interests she has.. mainly clothes.
