The first avatar I made was a Voki avatar. I tried to make it as accurate as possible.

Firstly, I tried to show my big, curly hair by using the hairstyle showed.  It was the most accurate to my hair out of all the possible selections.

I also tried to show my green/grey/god-knows-what-color-they-are eyes by using a certain colour I selected in the Voki browser. It took a bit of time to find a colour that was suitable but once I did I was happy with my choice.

I decided to show that I live in a suburban area and close to the city by the background I chose – the city. I think the background brings out the colour in my eyes, lips and top colour. Perhaps this shows I am very observant as well as very particular in the way I present my work.

I picked the player colour as white as I feel it looks clean and sophisticated.

I decided to pick neutral coloured makeup as I feel it shows that I don’t wear much make-up and I am happy with my natural self.

The Voki software was good. I found it, overall, easy to navigate and that it made good-quality avatars. On a more negative note, Voki limited certain features to Voki Classroom and I found it both frustrating and annoying. In order to use these restricted features I had to screenshot my Voki and therefore couldn’t publish it or give it a voice. I made another Voki so I could give it a voice however I feel it is not as accurate in portraying ‘me’ as this avatar is.
