Presentation Week!


This week in class we had to present our ideas, findings to the class for critic and feedback. The actual build up to the presentation was somewhat rushed, however I managed to get it all prepared the day before the day of presenting (16th October Wednesday). I had rehearsed some of the slides that needed additional execution to make sense of the presentation.

So what was the content? My presentation consisted of a logical build up of explaining the processes that I went to in the prior two weeks, the research, the idea generating, the sketches that enabled me to build a clear picture of what I wanted. I also looked into colour schemes in a new creative way for me that was different from what I have been doing in the previous A-Level course. Furthermore I looked at a wide range of typographies to give the greatest impact when people walk past this poster which is an important aspect.

How did the presenting go? The presentation went a lot better than I expected, I was anxious before I started as I hadn't done one in a while and presenting to new people is always stressful, however I quickly got back into it and posing challenging and thought provoking questions to the audience to keep them engaged. I managed to explain and get my ideas across in the way that I think of them which is important to me.

Feedback on the presentation/presenting skills?
My feedback on my presentation was very positive, I scored 1 or 2 on every category and commended for my fluent speech and not using notes. My colleagues also said that my explanation of ideas was very entertaining. In terms of criticism I should of added mock-ups which is a valid point and I shall act on soon.

All in all it was a successful milestone in this assignment and I enjoyed it!
