The above image shows my now blank art instagram, from which I can now work up. Although I didn’t mention it on the previous post, a key area of change for me is the name or handle, as although I had originally (several years ago) wanted my online art name to be Emi’s Art (an abbreviation of my name Emily), there are too many other art accounts with the same name for me to be able to have the handle as just @emisart – which is why there are so many other characters in it: @emi.s__art.

In order for the account to be more memorable, and crucially, easier to find and access, I first need reassess the name. I do not want to change it much from the central theme of Emi’s Art, as I have a webpage and link tree published under these names, and continuity is key. Therefore, the new name needs to reflect this, whilst also being a much clearer and easier version to find and search for.

The name that I have chosen (after trying many different variations of Emi’s Art) is @emilyk_arts, a name which encompasses both my name, and is a much easier variant of @emi.s__art to search for AND to tag, which should make my account easier to interact with and create space for a wider audience.

Now I need to think about my profile photo, as well as the style of my account.
