Brand Me - Online Presence

As part of this brief, we had to think about our online presence and what we needed to do to get ourselves out these. We were also encouraged to narrow down our social media sites and to not try and juggle an unmanageable amount. The social media sites I use most for my work are, Instagram, Tumblr, Facebook and Twitter. I do have a Youtube account, however after I began working on this "Brand Me" brief, I was advised to think about using Vimeo as another way of posting my animations.

So I went ahead and created an account. The reason this site is also so useful, is because I am able to update my showreel and replace it, but the URL won't change, so I don't need to worry about giving people the incorrect address, because this wont really be possible! Also, I realised I much prefer the layout on Vimeo compared to Youtube, and it also offers space to explain who you are, what you do, and what you watch. 

Out of the sites I use the most, which is Instagram and Tumblr, I try to post a good few times a week, but not too much. I tend to update my Twitter and Facebook on more of a weekly basis, depending on the circumstances. However, I am now trying to link my sites together more. Instead of posting the same thing several times across different sites, I have been mentioning in my updates about my other sites. This will hopefully encourage people to follow me on more than one form of social media!

I have also updated my sites, so that they all have the same profile Image, and made sure that they have the same theme running through out.
