As a photographer and videographer, I use various sites to showcase my work. In my previous posts, I mentioned my use of Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and LinkedIn. I use them each different; for example I use LinkedIn to find local job opportunities for major businesses. Aside from these standard social media sites, I use Unsplash and Vimeo. Unsplash is a high quality photo sharing website that is copyright free. It is the perfect place for a photographer to to share and gain a following since people go to this site to find and use high quality photos. If someone decides to use my photo and credit me then that would promote my page. Furthermore, if they really like my work then they will follow me themselves. On the other hand, Vimeo is a video sharing platform. It is very similar to instagram, but instead of focusing on photos, it places emphasis on videos. Again, this is another branch that I use to lead back to my main website.
For my template I went with a sleek base and green banner because of my passion for minimalist aesthetics. I wanted to provide my readers with some professionalism as well as a visually appealing blog which would make the readers more engaged. This template is visually appealing and doesn't have too many components that would distract the reader from my posts. Some of the other templates I saw had banners, which are nice, however, I believe that it would be a distraction. I enjoy clean backgrounds so that the posts stand out. The strip of green on the top of the page adds some variation, but keeps the blog clean. For this class, this template fit my needs and is easy access for my peers. The text is large enough so that my posts are readable and the links are clear and easily accessible. Overall, I thought this was the sleekest template compared to the other options.
