The other article I found interesting this week was titled "Are You Failing at Social Media?", the article caught my attention almost instantly with a photo of a school teacher and young students raising their hands. It was after reading the introduction that I found out that this was a metaphor for how web designers should be active online in order to gain a presence and a following. In the last few years having an online presence has become important for all artists not just web designers or graphic designers. Even though this article is geared specifically for web designers while reading this article I found that these tips everyone could stand to pay attention to and put into effect. Even though most of the advice is seems to me to be common sense the article acts as a good reminder of the basics, such as knowing your audience and keeping an interesting, but professional presence and posting things that they would want to see or know and if you don't know what to post from you personally, sharing things from your fellow artists is always a good idea.
