This week I worked on creating on my web site and a facebook page that I would you to promote my work on social media as we have discussed in previous lectures. I covered this in my previous blog post of setting up social media accounts on Facebook, twitter or Linkedin and that I will be using Artstation as a source to create my community profile and web site.
I made a review and justified my reasons for using Artstation and Facebook and that I have decided to postpone creating a Twitter account for later on, because I don't think it is necessary at the moment, if you want to remember what I talked about go and check my Personal Branding Part 1&2 post for more detail.
So this is how my web site currently looks like as you can see in the first image and bellow it is my artstation community profile that everybody that is sing up with artstation or not can view. The reason why I choose Artstation as a main source was that is art orientated, a lot of professionals from industry have account as well and I am able to connect with them...basically is a art version of Facebook and Twitter, where people can post their work and other could like and follow them and it gives me the chance to build a small community.
Using Artstation was also really useful in setting up the layout for my website, links to my Linkedin profile and Facebook page as well as mail. I can update any of these and add and remove information very quickly and edit constantly.
My reason for creating the Facebook page is that I will use it like a blog, the same way Torfrick does, to post my work, updates on things I am looking in to as research and work in progress as well as creating another small community that my followers on artstation can join as well, so this way I am getting more exposure and people have an easy way to look me up and connect with me and my work. I have already started posting updates on the page with things that I have worked on and my current progress on other project, so in a way I am already building a library that people can access and find what they like and if they share it on their Facebook more people can see it more and more people will start joining in. Since I made the accounts yesterday, I have 83 views, 9 likes and 3 people following me on Artstation and 26 likes on my Facebook page, this shows that things are progressing very fast and the exposure is massive.
I will be looking in to the development of my showreel next week on which I will post updates, so stay tuned and I have also posted links to my profile in artstation and facebook page, so feel free to follow me if you like what you see, which is not a lot now, but there will be more in the future.
