Today, we were introduced to new social media platforms and encouraged to create accounts for them. These were:

• Behance
• Pinterest
• Padlet

I particularly like Pinterest as a media sharing platform. It allows people to upload, save and manage images, videos, web links etc through collections know as pinboards. Users can browse a vast majority of media content on the platform by following other users or boards, it also allows users to like or ‘pin’ any content to their own collections if they want too. Pinterest is also a great platform to find inspiration from.

Another platform I like is Padlet. Padlet is like a virtual piece of paper, where users can either create their own pad or collaborate with other users to put down any media content they wish, e.g. images, videos, web links and documents. This is a great way to note down any ideas or research I have found, and is a platform I will use over the course of this project.
