6. Description of the professional, engaged persona you wish to
present, that is your identity statement and rationale
The professional persona that I wish to present through my online identity will reflect
my desire and commitment to develop and evolve my networks and overall presence in
today's digital community.
As I am still a full time student my education still comes first for me but as I progress
through my course over the next year I will be making significant steps towards at-tempting
to create a professional persona online that will hopefully aid my journey
towards a career in advertising.
I believe that my prior knowledge of visual communication design and the creative pro-cess
required to design narratives are the foundations to my learning's of the more
complex and in-depth structures of marketing and advertising. The way in which I pre-sent
myself be seen as quite creative yet also very serious as I attempt to shape my
career.

11. Central hub (Google+ and Falvor.me]
By bringing together all the different plat-forms
I use, both google+ and Flavors.me
allow for increased networking and expo-sure
Personal Webisite
Wix is a great platform to freely
create your own website. Not as effec-tive
with its networking but extremele
flexible and customizable
Blogger
Not as flexible as Wix in regards to
customization but a great hub for
ideas and thoughts.
Social media
Coonectivity and networking is second
to none. allows for personal expres-sion,
can be used professionally but
not as effectively as Linkedin
Professional Outlook
I am yet to create a Linkedin account
but I believe that it’s a great platform
to build professional networks and
possible form a career
