My website traffic saw a massive drop off.

Hello there,
My website traffic saw a massive drop off on the 14th August 2015 from which it has not recovered. I didn`t make any changes around this time other than a few cosmetic things around the 18th Aug. The structure of the website has always remained the same since it was built in March this year.
Could I have been hit by a Google Update around this time; or worse, some kind of penalty? I attach a picture of my analytics graph for your reference. My website is www.obsidiancontent(dot)co.uk.
Many thanks,
Jen?
