Social Media Manager? Well… You COULD Be A FlashMaster!

In 1989, I jumped into the computer revolution just BECAUSE of what I found one day… with a Macintosh and a paint program. The vision I had of ART and computing has come to pass, of course. I’ve done the studies, the degree programs, and the usual multimedia route. I BEGAN with a software called MacroMind. Yes, the earliest version of Macromedia Director, was an earlier software, MacroMind.

All these years later, with a tracked route through successful Macromedia and Adobe products, and a mile long list of mostly flash animation… I am now solidly embedded (joke intended) in Social Media.

My advice? The creative digital arts are so much fun! I love them and will always love them. And I will continue to create all of these things. HOWEVER, if you have about a day’s free time, and if I had that same time, we could talk about the intense learning curve, and the massive time it takes to put together a TRULY creative Flash animation. NOT one of those “thingees” you find out on the Net, where some online tool creates a simpleton banner or header… and is not creative, let alone a piece of art.

Now, IF you are a creative, but looking into Social Media Manager jobs, then perhaps I am “talking to the choir” with this recommendation. One community/social platform that you must join… is deviantArt. This will keep you in the loop on two accounts: ART, and of course, Social Media.

I’ve been a member of deviantArt for over a year, but have had little time to expand my profile. Well, I’ve been writing and illustrating eBook sets, and creating the sales pages. Yep, over 100 books in 13 months. Oh my aching eyes! But I WILL soon flesh out my site at deviantArt!

Okay! Why bring all of this up in this Web site? There is a flash animation that you MUST go view. Partly this is because it is, IMHO, a pure work of genius and very well-done Flash… and partly because it gives the true flavor of the struggles of computing life, life on the Internet, and the fight for excellence in the Flash platform.
