As this class comes to an end I have begun to get super excited about building my own personal brand. In simple terms this means I am going to be creating a streamlined look for everything I do. This will include any and all social media, business cards, resumes, blogs and anything else I decide to create! In creating my brand I have decided to stick with my whole name: Amber Layn Miller. I have chosen to do this primarily because Layn is the only part of my name that isn't overwhelmingly popular, but also because I love my middle name. I haven't chosen a logo or stamp of any kind yet, but I do know it will feature yellow which is my favorite color! With my brand I plan to create a new (and less cluttered) infographic resume with the help of Piktochart.

This week we began our final presentations. Our assignment was to give a 10 minute presentation (accompanied by some form of media presentation) to review what we liked, didn't like, learned, and struggled with during our semester in CAP 105. It was really interesting to see what everyone else struggled and succeeded in compared to me. I also found it really interesting that some people hated projects I loved and vice versa. Below you can see my entire powerpoint presentation with the details on how I felt about CAP 105, however if you just want the rundown Ill give it to you now. Basically I loved getting to be creative, making an infographic with Piktochart was one of my favorite assignments! On the other end of the spectrum I hated the SEO and online management systems we used like Brand Yourself. Walking out of this class I am leaving with a new appreciation for branding myself, so look out for Amber Layn Miller, because one day I will make it big! I apologize in for any and all formatting errors that arose from putting my PowerPoint online. My final cut movie creation would not upload via my PowerPoint, however you can view it in its original blog post here. Pictures come from a combination of my work with Photoshop, Piktochart, Final Cut Pro X and Brand Yourself.
This week I got to learn how to use Tweetdeck. Tweetdeck is a really cool site that lets you schedule tweets for any day and time you wish. This means next time you have two funny thoughts in a row you can post one now and schedule one to post tomorrow when you may be a little less entertaining! Additionally, Tweetdeck can be used to monitor other social media sites and put all of your online profiles in one place! Kind of cool right?! Check out all of my scheduled posts and learn more about Tweetdeck below! |
