OUGD602 | Personal & Professional Practice 3 | Self branding Reform - Networking & Social Media

Awareness Online
By building a brand or online awareness online. It is important to generate a significant amount of exposure and awareness for your brand or self identity it is often very challenging at the beginning, and it can become more difficult online where there’s a large amount of outside noise to contend with. However, along with many challenges, there are also a great many opportunities to build up social links, connections and job opportunities with the following social medias. 

To build my 'Online awareness' I had to make many online accounts via the internet which relates to my industry these include: Art, Graphics and Design and so on. This will further help promotion for my designs and potential jobs after University and the near future. Therefore communication on the Internet is vital, so to initial start it is important to create an online portfolio showcasing current, previous and ongoing design projects, this could be formed as a website or an webpage that specialises in showing off designs. To further publicise professional online webpage such as Linkedin can help expand connections, clients and companies to approach you. 

Therefore, by making these vital online accounts will help to prepare me to find these potential connections, networks, job opportunities and clients. 

Below are some examples:  

Website - Sung designs
For my website I have used 'Squarespace' as my dominate website page, however this may change if I decided to make my own website in the future. Currently my website have my second year of University work. I will further update it with more of my current third year work.

I previously created an account last year, however I was still afraid to post any of my second year work as I was not satisfied by posing and showcasing work online. Despite this defensive conscience I will start uploading my third year work. This is online portfolio is in current development. 



Linkedin - click here
For Linkedin I have connect with a lot of peers, family and new people. I have updated my profile picture to a more professional yet casual photograph. In addition the banner is my 'sung' pattern design of my self branding identity logo. 



Instagram - @sung_designs
Similar to Behance I previously created this account last year, however with the same reasons I was reluctant to upload any of my work due to dissatisfaction. Despite this negative in my third year I am more pleased and satisfied with my work that I have produced this year. I will start uploading my third year work soon. Therefore this social media platform page is still in current development.
