PPP3: Studio Brief 1- Design Strategy Presentation

We have been asked to produce a 10 minute presentation for the start of the year, which builds on from the presentation we gave at the end of 2nd year.

We had been given key aspects in which we should discuss:

• A statement about you as a designer
• The studio briefs we are proposing
• The direction for COP 3

I had trouble producing a layout for the format of my presentation, however, I realised that it would be a good idea to use the brand identity that I have just produced for myself so that I could use it in a professional context.

I decided to use only text within my presentation because I didn't see how I could illustrate the points I was intending to make. I kept it very simple with only the most important information on the slides. This was mainly for me to use the slides as prompts so that I had no choice but to face the audience and talk to them rather than using the presentation as a crutch.

The statement about myself as a designer is what I used for the CV that I was making for within my self branding yet I managed to condense it down to the most specific elements.

Practice Notes for Presentation

In order to illustrate the points that needed to be made and so I could practice the timing of my presentation, I made some notes that I could work with.

After doing the presentation, I felt that the presentation went well. I was given some feedback on my presentation. I mentioned that I wasn't sure of one of my briefs because of the timing, however, it was suggested that I should do it anyway. Also, John mentioned that there is a lot of brand agencies that specialise in being specifically designing for 'the ultimate shopper experience' so I feel that this would be a good avenue to go down.
