As mentioned my Facebook page has been running throughout the summer but became neglected throughout the project. Facebook is ideal as a first source of self promotion as it is the biggest social media site and also the one I was most comfortable with using. It was beneficial I created this after creating my website, and logo branding as I was able to apply these to the page giving it a professional feel.
The images above is essentially the 'home page' of the Facebook page. I have again used my professional name - however did not abbreviate to MUA. This is because Facebook allows enough space to not have no abbreviate my pages title. I used my professional logo, this ensures that my branding is clear and concise, and that this will link with my other online profiles, once created. My cover photo at the top of the page is very recent - from my last project, and allows page viewers to see this before entering further into the page. At present I am sharing my page on my own personal Facebook in a bid to improve the number of likes on the page which currently stands at 125.
When viewers click on the 'About Me' section, they are able to see my name, as well as a short summary of the profession I am in and the name of my course of study. Also there is a link to my official website. It is important that I keep up my website and also my social media so that anybody using links between the two now sees a professional, corresponding correlation between the two pages. There is the option for a longer description which I am looking to develop, and also I should fill in any additional information available to get the best from my page.
When viewing the images on my page, as this was made in the summer it has been neglected, but it full of work from earlier years of study. This needs to be adjusted to look at the work I am doing currently within this year - a lot of which I am waiting for official publishing dates from photographers I have worked with, as well as film students. In the image above you can also see pictures of make-up palettes, and make-up related sketches. This I believe gives a warm, communicative feeling between myself and the people following me, keeping them interested and also making the page seem friendly, as well as professional letting my personality shine through.
I am looking to edit my page, once I have the all clear from a few up and running projects to allow me to publish my hair and make-up work. I would like to also continue to use this site as a casual yet professional approach, reaching out to the audience and keeping them engaged. I am aiming to post at least once a week if not twice, with up and coming ideas/projects along with visuals which often attract peoples eye before text will.
