Portfolios

Avatars, Icons and Headshots - it's all about branding baby!  
These have come in useful for various projects.   An illustrated or symbollic avatar can help maintain your online privacy, while not "dating" the representation.  For some promotions, a good photo is helpful too.   I think it's a good idea to develop these assets to represent you, and  keep them handy in a folder for when you need to put yourself out there.
