in art+design context presentations are ( or have become ) a pillar of the practice. whether studios or persons, portfolios, individual works or ideas; everythings demands to be presented … in an entertaining way that is. but wait! is that really necessary? are the ways in which we present not very conservative and rigid? is every presentation ( willingly or unwillingly ) not a piece of designed communication or a performance?
see Presenting-Works(wiki) more unsorted thoughts on presentations e.g Presentation Formats
@todo(process and merge with wiki)
- check the technical details in advance. e.g:
- what connectors are available?
- how is the lighting situation?
- how are people arranged in the room?
- pre-record unstable sections of presentation ( e.g as movies or sound recordings or photos). e.g:
- technical demonstration
- functional prototypes ( e.g arduino sketches )
- demonstrators
- in an intermediate presentation try to give a sense of what your work will be like in the end
- while slide-based ( i.e powerpoint/keynote ) presentations are a good default and leave a lot of room for creativity, they are by far not the only way to present works. designing a presentation is a design task in itself!
