Announcing new blogger avatars! by Shuli J. '22, MEng '23
all-new, all quality
The bloggers’ old avatars were drawn by a talented professional in a recognizable and well-liked style. But some of us thought, what if we could do a worse job? Wouldn’t that be better? Today, I am proud to introduce to you a new, anti-cohesive style for the MIT Admissions blogs. We’re harnessing the incredible power of our students to draw doodles when they should be psetting, and we think you will be amazed by the results. Make sure to read the thoughtful artists’ statements below the images!
Shuli: “wdym, i am a qt”
Alan: “this is gonna be my portraitist origin story”
Fatima: “Upon further consideration, I have decided not to quit my day job.”
Paolo: “i’ve decided that it’s time for me to go back to my roots. no drawing could possibly communicate the amount of #swag i had back then, so instead, here is a photo. this was not my daily attire at the ripe old age of 15, but it is clear that i was far cooler then than i am now.”
Jebby: “im just a silly billy who came here to make some bloggies”
Kano: “my brain exploded out into my hair <3”
CJ: “if i had a nickel for every time i had to redraw my blogger avatar for april fools day, i’d have two nickels. which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice. right?”
P.S.: Happy April Fools!
