Workshop 5 – Presentation of Ideas

During week 5 we were asked to create a presentation showing our ideas thus far including research, inspirations and possible amendments. In this presentation I highlighted prior research which is already on my blog, this included: Typography, Colour Palettes, and Logo variations.

Presentations and presenting as a whole feels like a great life skill to learn, it allows you as a designer to reflect on work and possibly learn new skills. Presentations also offer the much needed life skill of pitching ideas and highlighting the development of a project to potential employers. As a designer just because you are content which a specific article of work, it doesn’t mean that your idea will be what a company is looking for, understanding this and using it to grow as a designer is therefore beneficial for both parties. Overall I feel as though presentations are not just useful in academia, but in industry comparatively.

Further amendments I would like to make upon receiving feedback would be: Developing my logo further (Explore different usage of typography, iconography), Show comparisons in prior iterations (What works better, and why), further develop output formats, and work on concept art.

Workshop 11 – Presentation of Finalised Ideas

During week 11 there was an assessed presentation on my final design and intended outputs for typography. The Einstein brief was also assessed.

For this I created a Pdf from an indesign file and presented my near finished design product.

In this presentation I’ve shown my research from prior and the development of my ideas towards final hand in standards, at this point the only outputs that are missing are my website and my Mobile applications.

Workshop 5 – Presentation

During workshop 5 the group was asked to present their work and the research that had gone in to creating their letter forms. Using the skills learnt in the workshop prior I decided to use Indesign to create the presentation. My presentation mainly consisted of the same research that my blog had been keeping, so transferring and adapting it wasn’t difficult.

For my practical example piece of work I decided to pick a book cover, but I wasn’t too impressed with the overall result. After playing with different ideas I decided that I’m going to make a full alphabet and put it to use on a real product for my final hand in.

Workshop 4 – Presentation Prep Task

During week 4 I was tasked with creating a presentation using Indesign and different graphic design techniques, the aim of this task was to show how to create a professional presentation using appropriate software to graphic design, as opposed to other platforms.

The task was relatively straightforward however it was nice to get to grips with software more relevant to the subject area. First off I started by creating an image of my name in Indesign, making sure that all the settings for print we’re correct before making refinements and trimming the printed document. After doing this we photographed the image.

After photographing our poster the task was to make further refinements to show a progression throughout the presentation, from here the document was transferred over to the computer, and further refinements were made by cropping the image and removing the opposing background.

Once the background was removed I had to insert the final images into indesign and create the presentation to match the brief.
