Sway
During time at uni over the past 2 years I've understood the importance of getting your work out there to a professional standard it is for this reason I have created a number of social media accounts to help networking and communications.
Sway is a portfolio site attached to my email this account displays inspirations as a designer, and my practical ways of thinking, artist such as Stefan Sagmeister and David carson the so called typical artists young designers talk about. However I am deeply inspired by there practical way of thinking. Design is fairly flat faced and boring these days and Sagmesiter and Carson, experiment with natural environments and materials to create there art work, the belief i have is that practical and physical design is far more unique than digital design it creates more reality and emotion. Another passion is typography, an artists such as there selfs specialise in this area through practical methods, it is this reason why the type I will be creating over the next years will be inspired by these typical artists.
Facebook, I would say is out to date because of account such as Instagram and Behance, however older crowds and big corporate businesses still use Facebook, the work I produce i want all generations and people to like and see so it is for this reason that I have created a Facebook page.
Behance
Behance Portfolio is a site which you can post all your work in a more professional manor so that all your work can be seen by studios, company's and artists this website is also used as inspiration and I also find that i find more inspiration from this site than i do from famous artists and artists tend to follow the same path and design method. Behance is full of young designers with new ways of thinking, precisely why I've choose to join. From joining this site I've had emails and messages about opportunities to create work and be apart of exhibitions, this way of sharing work helps network and get in touch witch other creatives.
Online Portfolio
Instagram is a site which is constantly evolving since Instagram came along sites such as Twitter & Facebook have now been shadowed into the background. Instagram is a photo based site and many designers and professionals use this site, i use this site to showcase my work and network with creatives, I also use this site as an opportunity to showcase my other sites which gains more attraction.

From gaining knowledge in Lecturers I've realised the important's of being on social media and since i've began posting everything online it has helped me expand knowledge of the professional life and ways of thinking. It has also opened opportunities to work and collaboration over summer. It is for this reason that it's essential to be on social media especially in this technology day and age, to be a successful designer.
