Modelmayhem.com
This website was specifically designed for the purposes of networking in the fashion/modeling industry. Models, photographers, stylists, hair and makeup artists can register for the website in order to find and create opportunities between each other.
The Good
This website is effective due to two core reasons. It allows members to create a free online portfolio for others to view in order to market themselves or create business opportunities with other members. Registered users can provide contact information along with their portfolios to be reached as well as connect with them through ModelMayhem by using the virtual "wall" or MM mail.

Another reason why this website is very effective is due to the castings section. Members are able to post casting calls on the websites "castings" section which enables users to look for work or hire someone.

The Bad
ModelMayhem does not give you the opportunity to use all your social media outlets together. Though there is a way to link your Photobucket account with ModelMayhem, it does not allow you to link your profile to other social networking websites such as Facebook or Youtube.
Another problem is ModelMayhems visual appeal and specs.Since the website is mainly positioned towards the fashion industry, photography and appearance should be an important factor for the website. Though it offers members to post an online portfolio, picture quality is not up to par and photographs are skewed once uploaded. ModelMayhem should allow members to post original sized pictures to evoke the best visual appeal from a photograph.

I like how you are very insightful to this website because it seems that this is where your passion lies. I agree that the website is an easy way to connect with people. It reminds me of a model/fashion facebook for those who are in the industry or those aspiring to be in.

ReplyDeleteI agree with Karolina each profile isn't made to be linked with other social websites. This doesn't allow the models to reach other markets around the world.
Each profile is plain the opportunity to designthe profile to your liking I assume isn't allowed because all the profile are plain black and white. There should be an option that allows you to design your profile.
