Social Media Presence - Wadespace Instagram
Having an Instagram is also easy to upload on the go, rather than having to sit down to a computer to edit it to look how you want. The square ration aspect keeps it looking neat, and being able to tag your work means that if you do try something experiental as I did with embroidery, I can tag it to get people who are interested in that area of illustration to see it.
Instagram is my primary social media. This is because it easy to be viewed and when a picture is liked it goes into an activity section which can be accessed easily by any followers of said person. With Instagram stories, it allows me to update my followers on the current work I am working on, even if I am not allowed to show the whole piece.

Social Media Presence - Wadespace Tumblr
Tumblr is another platform used to display my work to a wider audience of artists. Here I have shown a mobile and a PC version of my blog, the theme I am currently using is very neutral so that my work is the main focal point. I am only blogging my own work and sketches. This is so instagram has a more polished look to it and those wanting to look at my sketchbook can do so on tumblr.

Online Portfolio - Wordpress
Wordpress is my chosen site for portfolio work. Using the blask theme means that my projects are easily accessible from the menu and I can add details about the project such as medium, date produced and brief underneath for potential clients.

Branding Lobster is now my type of choice for my branding as I think it captures my personality and goes well alongside my work. I chose the colour red as it is my power colour but its also a warm but dominant colour which is how I want to come across to potential clients. My current business cards have pictures of my embroidery on but I will change them with each new project and to adapt them to an audience. I illustrated myselfas part of my branding because it is my intention to send postcards to new people and I like to think that the illustration represents my feelings towards working but also my sense of adventure.

Work Applied
Here are a few examples of my work being applied in various places. My work is adaptable to many formats as seen here, it can be used as part of a project, for poster work, for embroidery product work (both my own and others).
