Tutorial with John

We had a quick group tutorial with John about self promotion and getting yourself and your work noticed. These are the key points raised:

• Look at websites like theispot.com where illustrators show their work but also share their contact details. 
• Read practitioner's blogs and comment on them. 
• Ask them what made them do what they do. 
• Target my method of promotion, who are the right people to be in touch with? Who do I find interesting? Where do I want my name to be seen?
• Ask advice. 
• Ask who else would be good to get in touch with. 
• How will I be remembered and how will I make sure I am remembered?

This chat with John was actually a bit of a boost for me, I feel a bit more positive and motivated to work on all of my modules now. I think the key to PPP for me will be to gain a bit more confidence and not to be afraid of not being responded to or maybe making a fool of myself.
