PPD Action plan short term revised

Introduction

After doing a small brainstorm I have thought of a series of things I must do to get a really good project going that will give me good publicity and networking as well as experience in organising a project of this sort.

The Blog for my work (PPD at least) has been created. My other current online presence for my own production portfolio is currently my Google/Youtube account. This is acting as a stop gap before I either acquire a Web domain, join a label or create my own label.

The project development project has now been briefed and is currently under way. I am working in partnership with a like minded individual to create an Audio-visual event based on the concept of 'digital homogenisation in the 21^st century'.

This will consist of a live event with music, Noise, Glitch, Drum'n'Noise and Breakcore. And the gallery event will be a collaboration of artists that want to sell some art at the event. The Theme I have formulated for the art will be Post-Digital and Glitch art/Data-bending.

Recap:

As a revision of short term targets some have been met within the last few months whilst others are still being implemented. Some new ones that I felt I had left out have been added. Further info on these implementations will be included in section 9.

• Create a blog- complete
• Create a better Online Presence for a production alias using something like LastFm- Feb 2015
• Utilise networks better.- Jan-April 2015. My networking has improved but I still need to branch out into other social media domains such as Twitter and LastFm for digital footprint.
• use facebook, word of mouth, contacts to find more commissions from other creative industry sector projects- January 2015
• Work towards an art instillation scale project- late April 2015- Still working on this But looks like I will be 'Commissioning' artists on a 'voluntary' basis.
• remain creatively 'hermetic' but continue to network and work with other creative industries specialists towards a project.- April 2015
• market myself.- March 2015
• Get signed with a label or create one.
• Get an intern-ship- April 2015-16
• continue studies at lvl6- 2015-16

The only main issue that I must overcome in this project is that my 'hermetic method' or my habit of being a bedroom producing shut-in can and will clash with the need to network. I will overcome this problem one day at a time. What is important is to do what comes naturally to me and enjoy it, but also make a profit whether that is in experience, financial or networking portfolio.
