Finding Your People

My Design Brief for Hive Content Creation

I have a few identified projects that I find ideal to include in my Hive content efforts. By this, I refer to posts on @alessandrawhite or #cwh that I'm designing to attract the readers’ or viewers’ attention by using an easily identifiable look and voice.

Here’s an illustration of what I mean.

When holiday shopping together with a friend in a busy city center, you get separated from the person with whom you came. Now the game begins to recover your shopping partner.

In the crowd of people there are those that stand out to you or don’t, those that look similar to your person or don’t, those that sound like your person or not so much. But whether by the sounds or visuals, you can filter the crowd for your person, and likely find them again given some effort.

Social media is a lot like that. We read what grabs our attention. But our Hive engagement is richer than the experience of main stream social media, ain't it? For meaningful interactions, it’s useful to find your people. It's their work that makes you want to get to know them better.

The more we engage and reply or comment on Hive, the easier it gets to keep contributing to the platform. We find what interests us by getting to know people in the community. This is why we return again & again to the posts of creators that use techniques that allow us to more easily recognize them as a person rather than as an account.

Here are a few of my broad-stroke traits I hope make me recognizable when I post. I'm...

• Warm
• Authentic
• Curious
• Funny (humor me!)

Here are a few things that deeply interest me. I'm into...

• Music
• Hypnosis
• Recovery
• Creative Co-Working
• oh, and Cats

For today's post I gave Adobe Firefly my first go. Here is the prompt I used to produce the essay's illustration after I finished writing. What d'ya think? Let's learn together. 🥰

Create a series of illustrations that visually depict the parallel experience between 'finding your people' on the Hive blockchain social media platform and 'finding your lost companion' in a bustling marketplace.

Highlight the sense of connection, belonging, and the process of standing out amidst a crowd in both scenarios. Show how navigating through a sea of faces or digital profiles leads to that moment of recognition, forming a bond or reuniting with a familiar presence.

Emphasize the emotions, interactions, and the unique ways individuals stand out or discover one another within these distinct environments.
