My Avatar Creation Experience

One of our extra credit assignments was to create an avatar from a preselected group of websites. This blog is to explain my experience from creating that avatar. The website I used was called Meez.com. To be straightforward I am not a big fan of creating avatar, but Meez made it slightly enjoyable. I emphasis the slightly part as I will describe the cons later on.

The pros, Meez is an almost entirely free Avatar creation site. Meez gives you many customizable options for your avatar. It allows for many different facial options, a plethora of clothing, accessories, and background pictures. The website is very easy to navigate. I love the action motions that Meez has in their collection.

The cons, these reasons really hurt my overall mindset of Meez.com. Some of the items on Meez.com require the user to pay. I can see their reasoning, but for any one just wanting to make an avatar, they may find this annoying. Meez does have a lot of choice, I just wish they had more diversity with some of their options. Some of their "diversity" seems to relate to product placement. The advertisements on the site can become annoying at times as they will automatically play and you can't silence them or you will end up being directed to the advertisement page.

Even with a few flaws, I give Meez.com a 3.5 out of 5. Great for anyone wanting to make a slightly involving avatar. It may take a few minutes to create as their are so many options. I think it took me about 30 minutes to create mine because of all the options. Just keep in mind that not all of the options are available unless you want to shell out the money.

Below is an example of an avatar that you can create using the options found on Meez.com. This avatar is a version of me.
