My Objective
╔ ———————————— ╗
By the end of this term, I want to have created a serviceable social presence online, in terms of my professional and personal work.
╚ ———————————— ╝
Why?
I have chosen this goal because I feel that my online accounts are a bit scattered and dysfunctional, and I am disatisfied with my branding. I would like to create a logo, youtube channel, Instagram account, LinkedIn account and Art Station that reflect me, my work and my goals. I would also like to update my posting schedule so that I am more regularaly online, as right now, I rarely go on social media, and often have to remind myself to check up on what other art and animation accounts are doing. Part of my goal also involves being more up to date with the industry. This means following VFX and animation news and keeping track of big projects that might bring a certain style to light. I have already begun to do this by reading VICE news every now and then in the morning, but I would like to find a website that is more specific for VFX and animation.
Key Results
Career: Updating and expanding my social media can only benefit my career, because it would be more likely to be spotted by a possible employer, or it could maybe kickstart a freelance project which would involve a client liking my style and asking for a piece of art, animation or design.
Character: I think that this would help me improve personally due to the positive habits I would build, such as being aware of ‘the latest’ within the chosen industry of my dream job. Having a proper posting schedule would also encourage me to work more frequently, which would not only further my skills but also help me get out of slumps faster.
Qualification: By making new connections online and improving my skills, I will make the most of opportunities in Confetti (such as work experience, which was discovered for me, but I could potentially discover myself) and also improve the standard of my school work because of more regular drawing and animating.

Update
I have started working on the goals that I set out at the start of the term by generating ideas and sketching concepts for my logo. My brand is still very much in the early stages of production and I do wish that I had made more time for this, however, I haven’t found a lot of suitable perdiods to sit down and work exclulsively on this, which is why it is moving so slowly.
