We discussed the importance of getting yourself out there in the world of Graphic Design, by building a strong online presence, but all agreed that it depended on your audience your style of body of work suited, for example, whether you freelance or work for a design firm.
Towards the end of the work shop, we came up with a three main points to follow, which was then presented to the entire group.
Promote: To promote yourself as a designer! whether this be through a business card, website, twitter, Behance, Tumblr, Instagram whatever is suitable to your practice.
Explain: explain who you are and what you do
Interact: getting people to interact with the work, whether it be taking your business card, visiting your website, or getting work
By doing the three, hopefully it would lead us to work, meeting ppl, and open more doors into the design industry.
Steps I need to take:
Build an online presence, I already use instagram, but in the new year I hope to set up a squarespace for my work. So I need to hurry up with getting my work photographed and looking professional.
work on identity - is it necessary to have a logo and to label myself?? nah
