The first thing I noticed with this site is that it is extremely busy, there is a lot of heading and subheadings which organizes some of it however the pages especially the home page stretch on for quite a while making it look messy and hard to find what you are looking for. Here the social media links are not only on her home page, but nearly every page you click on which takes up a lot of room and seems too much.
One thing I do like is that one of the headings is a drop down menu link to all of her social media, twitter, soundcloud, myspace, youtube and so on. Her work is present on a wide range of social media platforms and she uses these as ways of promotion but also ways to gather images and pieces for her work or videos.
With an aim to make a film from a collection of smiles from around the world, this has been successfully promoted and gathered by a hashtag on twitter and instagram making it easy for people to get involved, #smilesfilm. She links in these ongoing projects well in the website that states her aims and how people can get involved. This could be something to consider for my twitter and collection overheard conversations or in future projects in gathering information. I have already explored and researched this in my own work and twitter is a very good tool for this.
Also being a musician, a soundcloud link is very important. I was going to put my sound clips into my website, but when I get more recordings and expand on the audio setting up a proper soundcloud page to present my work would be ideal, and then to attach this to the webpage under a subheading for my audio would help me organize my media cross over.
The only problem with the site is that it has way too much on it, at time I don't even know what it is I am looking for because there is so much going on. But as a musician/artist with a very successful career and a lot of show for it, organizing a website must be very difficult.
