Instagram as an Anime Character



Instagram by Jon-Lock on deviantART

          I love anime.  When I first saw this as part of a post on Kotaku, I decided to look further at his page on deviantART.  He has humanized many different social media sites and internet browsers like Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and as pictured above, Instagram.  While Instagram is something I have only recently become interested in, I do feel like this captures Instagram if it was an anime character called "Insta".  He has taken elements that are found in anime, i.e. the anime eyes, the fashion, and futuristic tech, and applied them to the different social media sites.  When it comes to anime and fashion in Japan, the sky is the limit.  Japan has some crazy AND awesome fashion.  In this image specifically, he uses brown as the main color with different shades, black for the buttons, glasses, and headphones, and white for the cuffs and collar.  The colors for the bow tie, collar accents, and headphones match those of the sites icon.  Insta's hairstyle is a men's hairstyle that is very popular in Japan, with the top being very long with short sides.  The link underneath the image links to his deviantART profile, he's got some pretty awesome stuff! Check it out!
