PPD Action plan short term yr2

Introduction

So 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.

First of all I must create a blog. Any kind of easy access information about my self and my incredible audio skills will help greatly. I can use networks as I am already on such as facebook, LinkedIn, youtube and google. Although ultimately I still have my heart set on an independent website with its own domain.

What I will also look into or the next stage of this project is to ask the media community or anybody with a visual project would like me to do audio design or soundtrack. This could be anything from making simple tones for an art project to a art house movie project or even an exhibition in a studio etc. Rather than think what I Can't do I need to think about what I can and where my unique musical style can be marketed in the best way possible.

Most important of all, I owe it to my own music and sound to make it heard by as many people as possible as to do otherwise would be to devalue my own creative ability and output.

Recap:

So if this is thought of as a to do list for this year it can be accurately seen as a development on last years planning. Last year I had practically no digital footprint so my main aim was to create one using soundcloud and youtube and networking with friends and associates in other creative sectors on joint projects. The following will be further developments on that;

• Create a blog- December 2014
• publish and independent website (for blog) December 2014
• Utilise networks better. December 2014
• 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
• remain creatively 'hermetic' but continue to network and work with other creative industries specialists towards a project.- April 2015
• market myself.- March 2015
• 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.
