As a very visual and creative person myself, I mostly curate art and creativity related tags. It is the language of colors and imagination that speaks to me most and sometimes without words. Over this short period of time (seems like forever already) as a curator, I’ve noticed few patterns that I find very interesting. They make sense to me, but maybe not so much to a great part of the platform.<br> <br> Artists put a lot of hours and energy in creating their pieces of art, so much so that sometimes they have no energy left for anything else. When it comes to presentation on their blogs, a lot of them lack in few areas that with improvement could potentially take them to the <em>next level</em>.<br> <br> For example, someone creates beautiful sculpture or a painting and posts few photos of it on their blog with nothing else than title. We are living in era of social media where every person is bombarded by imagery day by day, hour by hour. How does your pretty picture stands out? Why should someone cast their precious voting power on it? What is the story of it?<br> <br> No one is questioning your skills. Each of us are unique and have our own path to progress and expression, but few line of words that mean something to you yourself can make all the difference <strong>for others to connect with you and your works. </strong><em>I know, I know. Sometimes you have the feeling like you have nothing to say or your words are escaping you no matter how hard you try to catch them and form the meaning in few lines. I am right there with you.</em> Be yourself unapologetically and speak your mind.<br> <br> I see those who do good, those who have a great potential and may not even realize it or struggle to get noticed and the rest is wild weeds (the ones who brainlessly copy/paste things from the internet, add source and still miraculously get votes, those who plagiarize, spam or produce low quality works of almost no value). The wild weeds are growing in numbers at insane pace. Where is the problem? Are those users who are used to sharing whatever crap content on platforms like Facebook? They are too lazy to create themselves or too brainwashed to think for themselves?<br> <br> Here is the part where I would like to challenge you a little. If you come across someone you think has a great potential to do really good, but they are not there yet, give them a little bit of encouragement, show them your support or give them your <em>two cents. </em>They might not always listen, but at least we would have tried to better our platform and help someone to reach closer to their goals (or realize them) and connect with community better.<br> <br> Song of the day: Zeds Dead, Lips - This Is Me<br> Thought of the day: <em>and why not<br> </em>Tiny happiness of the day: Back at the running schedule while it is not -degrees</p> </html>
