Pecha Kucha Presentation
Pecha Kucha Q&A
Thoughts on Presentation
After presenting, I honestly felt that I did the same thing I did for my Pecha Kucha the last time around, just that the big difference was that I didn't use a microphone to make the voice clearer. I used the same design style I did last time around, the format was the same thing, and overall, it was a slight step up from the previous one, but that really isn't saying much.
Feedback from People
From the feedback that I got from people, the most common positives was the topic I chose was interesting for a lot of people, alongside praising my extensive research on the topic, which are great positives to give considering how passionate I am for this topic.
As for the negative feedback, a lot of people felt like the presentation was either too short and lacking of substance, or felt like I didn't explain my intentions very clearly, leading to them getting a bit confused on the main intention for my project. Definitely a criticism that was the fault on my part, because my main plan was probably too complex to talk about in full on the spot while also discussing other intentions for the project.
Another criticism a few people gave me was they thought how standoffish I looked while presenting, such as not utilising eye-contact, standing in one place throughout the whole presentation and barely moving an inch, which made me look like I was not confident in my FMP as a whole. I fully understand these criticisms, considering I'm terrible in social situations, so some of the feedback will help me improve looking confident in presenting next time.
Exhibition Posters
The first poster I made for the exhibition is a fairly plain one, with only just a clipboard in the centre mentioning gall the necessary information about the exhibition such as where it takes place, what date it will be, and what time it will be at. Additional things include a tagline 'Prepare for the next level of creativity' and the college logo at the bottom right corner.
My initial idea for this poster was roughly around the same, having the clipboard being the subject of the poster, but have a bunch of items around the corner like a boom mic, controller, tablet pen etc. The reason for this change was because I realised that the items made the poster standoffish, and that just having the clipboard present with the information about the exhibition made it a much more visually appealing poster.
As for the tagline, the main idea for what the tagline should be linked to creativity while being ominous in tone, which added to the intention of having the poster deliberately simplistic in order to convince someone more to check out what the exhibition has in store for them.
A simple breakdown of what the tagline means is the 'next level of creativity' refers to the students of the college, and how they're the next generation of artists that are ready togo out into the world and showcase their creative minds. The 'Prepare' part is what makes the poster more ominous, making it sound like something big is going to happen, and that this is something that you should waste no time going to to see what 'the next level of creativity' is.
The second poster depicts the Stanmore College 'S' taking up the entire poster, with items peeking out the 'S' including a camera, tablet pen and controller. The 'S' also contains the name of the exhibition, the date which it takes place, how long it will be for, and the address where Stanmore College is alongside the specific areas where the exhibition is held.
This one is a lot more visually striking than the previous poster, with it utilising the scrapped design of having items strewn around and peeking out which I was originally intending to use for the first poster, alongside the placement of the text being curved around the corners of the 'S'.
Invitation poster
in what is meant to represent a room in one of the media rooms. The poster utilises a heavy amount of text, with it almost like the poster is talking to the reader (more blatant with the opening line being 'Greetings fellow reader'.
This one is what I think is the most visual in terms of design, but also the most ominous in tone. There's no real tagline and there's no depiction of other media-related items, all of it depicts a lone computer just standing there, with the poster addressing the reader in an ominous tone complete with the necessary information about the exhibition.
What I find intriguing about how I designed this poster is how I convey the ominosity, I didn't feature some beautifully designed random looking thing, I directly used the text to make it sound like the poster is talking to whoever reads it while keeping the main subject of the computer barren to help make the text stand out more.
