Little things I accomplished in 2014!

Today I wanted to talk about some little things I accomplished last year. I did a post on the things I wanted to achieve in 2014 and whilst I didn't do everything, I have now added those things to this years list, but here are a few things I did accomplish. Accomplishments are something to be proud of no matter how big or small they may be to you or to someone else. So firstly I wanted to talk about VEVO, I spoke about this before but during January of last year one of my first client projects was to create, design and animate a Lyric Video. This lyric video ended up on VEVO which was an incredible thing for me. You can read more about that in the post I wrote on this last year. 

The next thing I have wrote down is my first E-Book project. Around the middle of last year, I produced a FREE download which you can find in the top bar off my blog or here. "Inspire Inspire" this e-book was just a little something of original quotes and quotes that inspired me to keep for those who want to live out their dreams but sometimes need that extra inspiration... I think this book kind of inspired my Monday posts "Monday Motives". 

The next thing is hitting over 150,000 views on Google & YouTube this for me was quite cool, though it is not about numbers... it is nice to think people are actually checking out and maybe reading what you have to say/looking at what you do. I am now approaching a quarter of a million views and that sounds insane, to think people take there time to click on my profile or blog, means a lot and I appreciate this. 

I could go on all day about so many things but the last thing and I think the most important thing I have achieved within the last year is that of GROWTH. Growth for me is crucial part in life, when you grow you often gain but at the same time you often lose. 

The Edinburgh Fringe 2014: Ten Must See Shows | (Guest Post)

Today, I bring you another Guest Post. Want somewhere to travel this Summer? Somewhere new to experience? Look no further then this blog post. 

The Edinburgh Fringe 2014: Ten Must See Shows

The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is always a highlight of Edinburgh’s social calendar, with thousands of people from far and wide heading to this gorgeous Scottish city to catch some comedy, theatre and live entertainment. Throughout August, performers from across the arts will be performing for the masses and while many of the tickets may have already been allocated, there will be plenty more left if you fancy making a last minute decision to go and enjoy what the festival has to offer. Book into one of the Edinburgh Travelodge hotels and start planning your itinerary; these ten shows would be a great place to start!

• Paxo – Broadcaster, author and University Challenge presenter, Jeremy Paxman, will be live in the Pleasance Courtyard between the 18^th and 25^th August. Not only will you be able to listen to his probes on various aspects of life, but you’ll also have the chance to ask him questions too.
• No Further Action – After winning Celebrity Big Brother recently, comedy genius, Jim Davidson, is back on the road and will be telling audiences stories of his arrest and the ensuing ordeal at the Assembly Hall between the 1^st and 25^th August.
• Frankenstein: UnBolted – This hilarious take on the Mary Shelley novel is a must for anyone with a love of classic horror. You can find it at The Caves until the 24^th August.

Career Update!

Hey everyone,  

Today I am going to share with you an update on my career. I have been meaning to do this for a while now and this seemed like a good opportunity to do so. When you are looking at careers, I think it is important to love and enjoy what you do and that's what makes my job so great! Firstly I wanted to share with you a Logo Design that I have been working on this week for a web series called 'Concealed'.

The concept behind the branding of 'Concealed' is a web series about concealing your faith. The lips symbolise the idea of being 'zipped shut' to conceal this. I am in negotiations  to continue to work on this project so stay tuned for that! 

Secondly I wanted to share with you guy's my latest "VEVO" style Lyric Video. I did this video earlier this month for artist Jordan Morris. Having previously worked on Jordan's first single 'Taking Your Side' I was excited to take on this project. For this video I decided to approach it with a few different techniques on Adobe After Effects. I have used a lot more picture elements and imagery then any previous Lyric Video and I think this adds to the uniqueness of this video. 

If you like the song then please head over to I-tunes and support Jordan Morris by purchasing a copy. I have quite a few plans and idea's for my blog in the coming month so I am excited to continue to build and grow my business and blog. 

Live life and chase your dreams!

See You Thursday.
