I recently started a monthly subscription to Farcaster Pro, which unlocks some extra features like the ability to add a profile banner and write longer casts. That felt like a good opportunity to explore how to present my profile visually.
Initially I experimented with digital visuals like gradients, abstract elements, and tech icons. But after some experimentation, I started to see that photography aligned better with the tone I wanted, something warmer and more personal.
I began thinking about who might naturally feel connected to Farcaster. To me, it feels like a space for curious, urban professionals, builders, developers, and creatives. People who care about ideas, community, and collaboration. And not just online, but offline too, in casual environments like coworking spaces or informal meetups.
That’s what guided me toward the image I ultimately chose. Admittedly, it might seem a bit polished to some. I realize Farcaster likely attracts a wider variety of people with different aesthetics or approaches. Still, this image reflects something of the warm, social atmosphere I associate with the platform.
Finally, I added three words that came to mind when thinking about Farcaster:
Not intended as a slogan, just three core words that resonate with me.
This isn’t about getting it right. It’s just my interpretation. Maybe it’ll give someone else a small reason to try something similar. Everyone brings their own perspective to a platform like this, and that’s exactly what makes it interesting.
