For your midterm creative project, I want you to build upon the personal brand inventory discussion assignment from last week and use a social media platform to endorse either your personal brand or a hypothetical company that you one day might establish. Because this is for a class, I am not going to require you to use a real social media platform, but instead you’ll be using Fakebook, which mimics the functions of Facebook without having to put your profile out in the public. Now if you’re really serious about your brand or company, feel free to use an actual platform, but I’m not requiring that for class. Otherwise the link to Fakebook is: https://www.classtools.net/FB/home-page

As starting point for the assignment I would recommend looking back at your post for the Week 4 Discussion Board and your responses for questions such as: “What are you passionate about?” “What are your brand colors?” “Do you have a brand logo?” “What is your personal mission statement?” Then try to integrate your responses into the design of your Fakebook page. Your mission statement in particular is something you can include in the “About” section of your profile page. (In this case it’s the “Intro” section.)
Also ask questions such as “Who are your professional connections and do they represent the values and mission of your personal brand?” “Are their any particular products or causes you support?” You can show this through your friend list and the posts you make. You can also include hyperlinks and YouTube links, so if you want to, for example, you can link to a YouTube video that you made about your personal brand for this project. The more content the better. I would like for you to have at least 5-10 fake posts. You can even have responses from some of your friends or diehard fans. Have fun with it. When you are done, submit a link to your Fakebook page here.
