Effective Presentation Tips

This seminar was most helpful in providing us all with tips on how to put together a presentation to a professional standard and to come across confident.

Crit presentations are about communicating a journey, how you got from A to B. How you did it, obstacles you faced and how you animated it etc.
They are about sharing ideas, thoughts, concepts, progress and resolution.
They also give the opportunity for constructive feedback from both piers and tutors.
and most importantly, conveying meaningful information PRECISELY.

You should;
Know your audience
Dont make assumptions
Inform about what you are doing
Explain who you are, what, how and role.. (this is what I did)
How to plan to move forward and obstacles you face

Presentation is not all about YOU.
-Think about who you are presenting too
-What it should sound and look like
-Keep it simple
-Avoid clipart (suggests laziness)
-Use imagery to illustrate point when appropriate
-Avoid bullet points
-Avoid too much text
-Slides readable from 8ft
-Enthusiasm, expressive and persuasive.
-PREPARE!!!!
-TIMING

This presentation has set me up for the future now. When it comes to making interim crit presentations and other PPP presentations in the future, I feel confident enough to put together my presentation with a professional approach.
