Dear Steemit Friends,
This is my 10th day here in Steemit and this past week has been a learning curve. I did a first post on Steemit with the title: My First Day at Steemit..Hello from Hong Kong.
I spent a lot of time writing that first post introducing myself - well it was really "My First Day" as the post says but I failed to put in proper introduction with photo verification for the Steemit Community which I only discovered a couple of days ago.
The introduction verification needs the following:
So this morning, I decided to do a steemit sign.
Here are the reasons for doing this photo verification with a GOOD steemit sign:
- We spend a lot of time writing good quality posts and people need to know we are real
- This is a social media platform in real time so it is good to put a date there, or even time
- This is almost like our own website where we share life, values and content to our readers
- The sign confirms you are real in real time
- So for the photo, don't go to photoshop and do mock up. Just leave it as it is and upload as you would for your LinkedIn profile.
Tips for #steemit-newbies: Spend some time creating a nice Steemit verification sign. It is worth it.
1. Use these 3 pens to do make an artistic sign.
You really can't be lazy and do a quick scribbling job. Nobody wants to look at it. Remember, this is your blog website so spend some time creating a good sign for people to see.
My hubby is an architect and drawer.
This morning he created this sign with these 3 pens.
- A blue felt pen marker
- A blue roller pen
- A water brush
2. Choose Blue color - Follow the color scheme of Steemit Platform.
3. Make the sign artistic by using a water brush. This creates a shadow effect.
We created a short video clip for you to see how easily the artwork can be done:
You can control the water flow to the brush nib to make the whole thing look artistic.
Voila! A beautiful sign to greet all the other Steemians.
