Create your own avatar

Objective

In this task, you will upload your design to Behance or DeviantArt, and to Gravatar. The design will become your personal Globally Recognized Avatar.

Create digital artwork

Create a simple vector art that will become your avatar.

Make sure your work is not a infringing copyright.

To see if your work does not infringe any copyright, you can use reverse image search using TinEye.

Upload to Behance

Once your digital artwork is done, upload and publish your work in a vector format (e.g., PSD, XCF, SVG, AI, etc) to Behance (Adobe).

Any components of your design that are not your own should be mentioned on the same Behance page where your design is shown.

Example: https://www.behance.net/gallery/55900041/Maelzels-Chess-Player

Upload to Gravatar

Gravatar hosts Globally Recognized Avatars.

The logo that you upload on Gravatar will be your avatar on various sites connected with Gravatar, such as GitHub and GitLab.

To upload your logo creation to Gravatar, you must first have a WordPress account.

Register with the same email you used when creating an account on GitHub, GitLab, or other services.

Once your account has been successfully created, go to the Gravatar website and upload your logo.

After the logo is uploaded, it should appear on your GitLab profile automatically.
