What I want to achieve

So for PPD, I thought if I was to list the stuff I want to do, I will have some goals to meet.

Here comes a list! :p

Website - Mine is currently down and I am forever changing the layout after a couple of months. I want to produce something I will keep for a long while without feeling it needs to be updated.

Demo Reel - If I want to get into the moving image industry, this part is pretty standard. Finding all my wold work, however, will be a challenge in itself.

InkedIn Profile - This is another listed part in the brief. I've had a LinkedIn profile for a while now, but not been on or, to be honest, know how to use it. I think this need to be brushed up, up to date and filled in correctly!

YouTube layout - To match my website with my YouTube page, I think a skin is in order. This way people wont be too distracted by the difference in layout and also it will show off more of my working abilities.

Business Cards - Again, should be done along with my demo reel. This needs planning.

CV - I have various versions of normal CV's floating about on hard drives somewhere but not a professional one. Nothing that says I do moving image work and my degrees. This, needs making!

Logo - You cant really state who you are in this day and age without a memorable logo. That too can become a statement in itself.. Nike and McDonalds for instance rarely need to say their name when their logo is shown.

Personal statement - This is part one of the brief, and rather simple. I think when I come to do my CV I shall work on this.

List of potential employers - Like last year, we have to compile a realistic list of potential employers of whom would want me on their team. (If your reading this and have a job free... get in contact. :) )

List of meets/festivals - I think I remember this being mentioned somewhere, so I will do it. xD I will try and attend more conferences, meet ups, networking events and all that stuff. The only problem with them is some cost money, and money is one thing I rarely have much of. If I can get to some, I will.

Build a network - I already have several people of whom I can call upon depending on the need of what needs doing. But none are professional, their all mainly mates who are very good or successful in their field. I would guess that these too are 'professionals'. This is more of a desirable thing to do, not a necessity.

Well now I wrote that all down I feel a bit clearer about what I need to do. Also, gives me a chance to manage my time a bit and work on it all.

Adios amigos.
