The Graphic Design Club will be hosting a Blog Workshop which is open to the public on Wednesday, November 4th from 5:00 to 5:50pm in Room 231. Attendees will learn everything they need to set up their own personal blog and how to set up revenue generating ads through the Blogger system.
According to animation and web instructor, Aaron Belchamber, "As a designer, you become more valuable to a client, a marketing department, or your future employer if you understand how to set up, maintain, and properly leverage blogs. All graphic designers need to not only understand how to set up blogs for their clients, but they should really be setting up a blog for themselves."
"A blog is a great marketing tool for the web. Not only is blogging a free way for graphic designers to present their work and vision in an organized way, it increases their web relevance by providing them a legitimate presence on the web. This web presence can be built with regular, relevant, and impactful blog entries about specific subject matter."
Belchamber continues, "By the very fact I am writing a discussion about blogs and mentioning topics of discussion such as Blogger.com as a hyperlink, I am increasing Southwest Florida College's, along with my own, web relevance, along with the subject and causes I am promoting in this very blog. Making regular entries into your own blog will make it easier for people to find information in search engines who enter key words that are discussed in your blog."
According to Belchamber, publishing your own blog exposes your material, designs, and ideas to the world audience, improving the chances that people in search of similar subject matter will stumble across your blog. Once someone visits your blog, hopefully the content will compel your blog visitors to learn more about you, review your design work and consider contacting you to participate in future projects or employment openings.
