Social Platforms — Studio Brief 02 — OUGD502

As a self initiated task, it became clear that my name wasn't out there enough. To fix this, I have began posting more to platforms like Instagram and linking with professionals through LinkedIn.

This goes hand-in-hand with my website. All external sites will like to my website, and vice verse, thus creating a more seamless experience for potential clients to find out more about me and my work.

Instagram:

Instagram has been a great tool in terms of connecting with professionals, the artist who I interviewed for the creative report came from this very technique. Averaging out around 40 likes and rising on each image posted, I only have higher hopes that I can gather a good following of industry professionals and engage further with them.

This also helps gain contacts with people in other aspects of the creative industry, such as architectural and many others—further spreading my name on the internet.

LinkedIn:

A pretty standard tool for all professionals out in the field looking for potential employment is LinkedIn.

Linking with potential work experience employers has been my goal within using LinkedIn. Not just connecting with fellow peers from university, but past graduates who may view my profile and gain some interest with my work—meaning if I choose to contact them in the future, they will more than likely be aware of who I am or even recognise my name, furthering my chances of gaining that much needed internship or work experience.
