Final project instructions You have learned about the importance of branding yourself.  You’ve also created a personal Linkedin page and a Facebook page for a company or organization that both show your understanding of personal and professional branding. For your final project, you will create a web page that illustrates who you are (or who you want to be).  The web page will showcase your findings from your personal brand workbook and will point viewers to the web platforms you want them to see. Use one of these websites to brand yourself and present yourself to the class in our last meeting.
