Phase 4: Rationalise/Articulate/Sell April 22
I presented my final project to part of the creative team at cossette over Google Hangouts, which was (super duper) nerve-racking!
Some good notes: I think my deliverables were executed well, and I was happy with where this concept took me. I had a lot of fun working on this project in recent weeks, even doing some animation at the end which was nice.
Some things I need to fix: I always find it difficult to find the balance between under-explaining and over-explaining, and this was unfortunately apparent in my presentation skills. I think my lack of preparation was evident, as I caught myself reading off of my slides. I think my final deliverables were executed well, and I was happy with where the final pathway took me. I had a lot of fun working on this project in recent weeks, even doing some animation which was nice.
It was great to show my project to a group who hasn’t seen it before, as each creative that joined my presentation had a new insight and comment. I’m excited to work on this project throughout the summer, working off of the feedback I got from them!
After the presentation, Car and Shanene spent a few minutes going over some more critiques on my final deliverables as well as my presentation skills. Car gave me some presentation tips by showing me how they would present my slides, and listening to them present really helped me understand how a good presentation is set. Hopefully, my presentation to our class will be a lot better after going through this first run.
For this phase, I give myself an 8/10, as I could’ve prepared more to deliver my presentation stronger, which would’ve calmed my nerves a lot more. I am really happy with the place I brought the execution of this project to, but this day was a good reminder that in order to communicate a good idea, it must also be presented just as well.
