I threw together a quick visual mockup of what the GUI could look like. This is nowhere near the final design. I am currently working on a refined and detailed version which will be as slick as a dolphin. Comments and suggestions are most most most welcome!
Visual content is always a winner. Pictures are worth a thousand words and all that. What Steemit brings to the table is something that will most definitely get most, if not all creative content creators out there salivating.
Think Youtube, Vimeo, Artstation.com, Behance.net and Motionographer.com
Steemit can and will do this, but better!
These websites generate tons of content, hours of entertainment and the ability to wow.
I've been in the professional visual arts industry for 10 years now. I studied film and animation in Malaysia for 5 years; then moved to London and started my motion graphics, vfx and editing career. Having worked in a medium sized digital advertising agency, I know how the full time life is. After being full time, I started my company, The Albedo Effect. Been on my own since and have never looked back!
In the creative visual industry, you can only find work if you have an online showreel or portfolio. Even if you are finding work through a recruitment agency, they will ask you for your online showreel or portfolio.
Currently, the websites I have mentioned, some of which I am a member of, allow you to showcase your work and build a profile among the creative community. There are also job posts on all these website which is handy. I always check the job postings for work.
Web Traffic
The thing about these types of websites, you get a tremendous amount of web traffic that spend ages trawling through bucket loads of awesome creative content. As content is so immersive, the community naturally interacts with each other.
The problem for me here is that these website are generating lots of value on the back of our content. Steem stands to change all of this. It's time to remove the middle man from the equation.
Creatives have to constantly be looking at new works and designs as it builds our mental visual database. You will be inspired by things that you see, like particular animations, design styles or even colour combinations that you thought worked.
Whenever I am tasked with coming up with a new design or animation, my brain starts going through all the content I have ingested and starts pulling inspiration from it all.

If I've liked what you've done then its been valuable to me. If it's valuable to me, then it most definitely should bring value to you!

Hope you enjoyed the article and are as excited about the future as I am.
Comments and suggestions are most welcome. Would love to know what you all think!
Driven by Steem!
