OUGD502 | STUDIO BRIEF 1 | ONLINE PRESENCE

In the graphic design industry, its important to have a presence online. I already have a Linkedin and Behance, but everything felt quite muddled and didn't work together.

Twitter:
I decided to create a professional Twitter, as I use my personal Twitter regularly and have gained a substantial amount of followers. Social media is a hugely important tool, which I have already experienced as my job at Sighh came about through an Instagram comment.

My Twitter handle is @charlotte_arts and I will be using it to showcase my work and interact with the graphic design industry. I felt it was time to start making myself known, and showing my work that I'm most proud of. 

Website: 

I also have a website created through Wix. I'm using the free version at the moment, just as a platform to showcase my work in a more pleasing way. 

The website also gives people a chance to contact me as there is a contact page built in.

Behance:

Having a Behance is important to creatives, as its like a Facebook for artists. I've had my Behance page since May 2015, but only recently linked all of my other social media pages to it. 

LinkedIn:

LinkedIn is a place to meet with other professionals, not strictly creative. Its a great platform to connect with other designers and alumni of the university. It also adds to your credibility, as others can endorse you with skills related to your field. 

I'm also looking into making an Instagram for myself, but I feel I need to be producing work more often and more cohesive for that to be feasible at the moment. I'm hoping from creating these pages, I can find some opportunities for myself and become more well known within the field of graphic design.
