Simply having the message you want to deliver on a volume of notes and journals, as you very well know, is not enough to share it with the world. But your unique content is your legacy to bring to your audience and to do this, it needs the right vehicle.
In the present tense there are a number of ways to make your body of work available.
Electronic web publishing is a fantastic way to bring your work to life quickly and in a format where you can leverage it to go viral to others.
A close second to the electronic medium is the tried and true print market where your work will sit side by side with other great works of time.
Right behind both of these processes is the web which is both a conveyance of this material to the public, but also a means to educate them about it; to illuminate the work and its wide scope and how it intersects with your growing reader base.
Generally, a combination of all of these are what your work deserves: a printed and bound body of work, a website that talks about your work, and builds on it, and a sampling of material made available electronically, such as an e-book publication which would speak to your knowledgeable audience.
Making your work look its best is at the heart of the Graphic Design process, and the alchemy of word and image will make your work leap off the digital or printed page and connect with your audience members.
This is the pinnacle of any great idea, the codification of your work for time immemorial, a produced living testament to your thoughts , ideas, and effort, in your hands. Truly, this is both a legacy to hand down to the generations to come, and your collected ideas deserve to be recognized.
The printed word is, at its core, the encapsulation of your ideas, where the communication and sharing of them is an integral “next step” to their creation, and the web makes for a distinct engine to do just that.
In addition to your Facebook & Twitter presence, there are many ways to convey your thesis, share it with others, building and growing to the next level. Some examples of where the next step leads includes the creation of pod casts, videos, newsletters, further e-books, and larger mass communications. The sky is truly the limit to broaden and create your pathways and grow your audience, which can happen as quick as you can create the ideas to feed it.
You and your work are at the driving force, and can grow beyond your imagination.
How do you plan it out? What goes into the process? Is your Great Work enough to talk about, or does it lend itself to be interactive with other ideas?
