ITAP; week 7, Principle 3 - Medium

Principle 3 Medium

 
 
     Dan Mountford is a practitioner who can demonstrate the benefits of working within a variety of different environments, establishing his work, formulating a reputation and gaining personal life experience through doing so.
    Currently Mountford is a student who is based in Brighton, who works predominantly within the fields of photography, graphic design, editorial and motion design. Through his many disciplines he has the ability to collaborate his work, and continue creating an extensive portfolio offering his variety of skills and knowledge basis to a number of clients because of his ability to manipulate imagery to suit a variety of purposes.
   Through working alone, Mountford has the desire to work to his own personal tailor ship, choosing his work basis, and developing his skills through further experimentation allowing him to progress within a narrowing field. However, from working within internships, and commercial based work, this has allowed him to gain establishment and recognition with a number of brands and agencies I.e


  • The Economist
  • EMI Records
  • Urban Outfitters.
   Furthermore, as a result of working within these brands and agencies, he has had to collaborate and conjoin his work with a number of different visual communicators, giving him an incite into other practitioners work, which has lead to him becoming an influence upon their work, and in turn their style and methods have influence him.
  By working within a group, a brand, an agency or company, it can allow you opportunities to enhance and refine your stylisation of work to continue working within one area. On the other hand it could lead to opportunities to expand your working field, giving yourself a reputation which can introduce you to new clients, and areas of work.


   There are a number of different social media networking sites that can be used to advertise and promote your visual pieces, the most commonly used are:
  1. Blogger
  2. Facebook
  3. Flickr
  4. Instagram
  5. Twitter
   Using social media and networking it offers valuable links to potential and future clients, which can be delivered to them through your own personal space of advertising, also by interlinking each area of your work to various pages it can create a connectivity so that people can browse your page through interest, and spread the information through word of mouth. This is the quickest method of being noticed, and a way to gain critical comments upon your work to help you develop your methods.
   Another way which you can advertise yourself to get your work into the public domain, is by entering a number of online competitions, these can be also found on artists web pages who want young aspiring artists to collaborate with them, or through local newspapers.
