Summary: This assignment will test your ability to apply the definition of avatars broadly across digital and non-digital media, as discussed in the lectures to your own avatars. You will be graded on the accuracy, clarity and thoroughness of your response.
Building on the content from the course so far, think about the things in your life you can now classify as being avatars that are not traditionally thought of as avatars. This means they are NOT videogame or virtual world characters.
Name one of your non-traditional DIGITAL avatars, post a link to a photo of it (e.g., on Pinterest or in a link-accessible google doc), and describe (in at least 150 words) how it can be classified as a non-traditional digital avatar (use at least two examples from the course material).
Name one of your non-traditional NON-DIGITAL avatars, post a link to a photo of it (e.g., on Pinterest or in a link-accessible google doc), and describe (in at least 150 words) how it can be classified as a non-traditional non-digital avatar (use at least two examples from the course material).
Compare (in at least 150 words) how these avatars differ with respect to attractiveness, personality type, dominance, humanity, agency, and realism.
