Summary: In Episode 5 of the Escape From Illustration Island Podcast, I am joined by Jeff Fisher, Engineer of Creative Identity for Jeff Fisher LogoMotives, to tackle the topic of social networking for Illustrators and other creative professionals. Â This audio interview was inspired by a recent article written by Jeff for the October issue of How Magazine, in which he highlights the value of using online social media tools to take control of self-promotion and networking with fellow creators. Â I met with Jeff for EFII's first face-to-face discussion to explore the possibilities inherent in these tools, and to ask some of the questions that the article raises. Â Jeff helped to illuminate the topic by drawing on his years of experience and sharing a long list of resources that can be found below.
