Social media has become one of the largest tools in our lives. We use it on both personal and a professional level. In the lecture we read about the various types of social media aspects and the importance of the area. For example, you are more likely to find an employer on vimeo rather than youtube. Yes, youtube has a bigger audience but vimeo have a professional audience that look for talent and work. We also spoke about which form of social media would best be suited to us. There are many websites that provide such wide amount of networking. I personally would use facebook, youtube and similar sites to reach or make a huge fan base but also use professional sites like linked and vimeo for a more professional connection. We also have crowdfunding websites that prove helpful to anyone who wishes to start of with a creative project and cary on work on it. I would suggest different commission websites as well. For example 99designs is a website i have used before. I may have not won a competition on the site, but i did get contacted from various people regarding work. We also looked at various portfolios, and the impact they carry. Our portfolio is an impartial tool that would carry our image through the social media sites to our potential employers.
