Post #17!

So we are coming to an end I only have three more posts to do after this! holy poop! Building off of my last post I would like to take the time today to talk about social media and how it is influencing designers and the younger generation.


The first form of social media that is really "influencing" people to be a little more artsy is instagram. I think that instagram is a great tool for up and coming photographers or painters who want to get their work noticed. You can literally become "instagram famous" just by getting a bunch of followers. From a point of view of a designer that's amazing and like I said before a great way to get your work noticed.


Another app that is on the rise is vine. Vine is where you take a bunch of little videos and it makes them into a collage that you can upload right on your phone. This app would also be very good for artists or designers if they were to have an exhibit they would be able to show there followers and even people from across the country! or even the world!

Anyways those are just two examples of many forms of social media that is being used today. We cant forget Facebook or twitter. There are also smaller ones that are not as well known such as snap chat and another app called whisper. 

In this day and age I would say that you MUST not only be able to understand these forms of media but you need to be proficient in them as well. With that being said till next time!
