Spreading The Word

I have made a Tumblr account to help me present my work to studios and help spread the word of what i am doing. 

I chose a tumblr layout which best presented my work. so i have picked one with 3 collums and no hight restrictions so you get to see the full piece whatever the length. I chose about 4 pieces to start and have been adding gradually ever since starting it. I am really pleased with how it has turned out and my logo works well at the top.

I have used more personal project to go on my tumblr account just to make it more interesting for when people view it. It gives them a better sense of what i enjoy and shows motivation to do work other than set briefs. 

Above is a piece i did which has got a huge amount of interest over 240 likes and reblogs. I am new to the tumblr scene so this was a first my work was getting shot around the internet and now on hundreds of others pages. I didn't really like this and felt like i had no control over my work anymore. 

There is a great deal of design on tumblr but i have found its not how good it is, it's all about the wording and emotional connotations of work which people like. This i am not a fan of. Just because my work says "wish you were here" its getting reblogs because of the wording not the design. 

I want to get off Tumblr as i don't think its my kind of thing i not looking for my work to take on this emotional meanings its not why i do it. 

I plan to make a website with a similar sort of layout. both more professional and for my masculinity as a designer.
