Makers

Being creative is firmly in the Mainstream today. From photography to art, craft, music, film and blogging – everyone is curating online!

Everyone is a creator now, and Makers are the new Tumblr Kids as everyone is creating original content online and sharing it on social media; while many are also getting hands-on creative at home. So from DIY furniture and art to animation, there’s an explosion of creativity across the Mainstream – just don’t confuse it with Leading Edge career Creatives, these guys are doing it for themselves!

People I admire/role models:

Casey Neistat, he is a YouTuber and film maker. He made a TV series and a few short films. I chose him because he does not do things like others and is a great example of why you should try to be different. He also creates great short movies which are thought provoking and inspiring.

I admire Lewis Hamilton because he has come from the bottom with almost no money to one of the most successful F1 drivers ever as well as being one of the highest paid sportsman ever. He can at times be over confident but his persistence inspires me as he started off relatively poor compared to all other F1 drivers that have rich parents making it easier to get into the sport.
