Presentation Brief.


The Brief

Produce and deliver a 5-7 minute presentation that communicates a reflective summary of your experiences on the course to date. You should aim to identify who you are as a learner and as designer as well as how the things you have experienced over the past nine months have affected your current aims and ambitions.

You should also attempt to communicate your ambitions for next year.

Context

Your own personal development as an individual and as a designer is affected by all aspects of your life. This is an oppurtunity to reflect on the experiences from the past nine months that have informed the decisions that you have made/are making about your future development.

The ability to reflect upon your personal development can help you to gain confidence in your abilities as well as identify areas of strength, focus, ambition and improvement.

Deliverables

1 x 5-7 minute powerpoint or pdf. presentation

Evidence of critical engagement with personally relevant contemporary design practice in the form of a blog.

Considerations
What have you learned and what do you want to learn? What mistakes have you made and how have you learned from them? How will this affect your future development? What are your strengths and how have you/will you develop them further?  What are you weaknesses and how do you intend to address these? What have you enjoyed and why? What have you disliked and why? How does this affect your ambitions? What did you want to get from the year? Have you achieved this? What have you discovered that you wern't expectng?

Mandatory Requirements

Your presentation should last between 5 and 7 minutes (you will be penalised for a presentation that is shorter of longer than this).

Although the content, tone and conclusions of this reflective process should reflect your own experiences, personality and ambitions, you should aim to focus on the learning journey and how this has informed the decisions that you are making about your future. To this end you should use examples of your own work, creative skills and interests in the contemporary field of design as part of your presentation.

You should be prepared to answer questions on your presentation posed by your colleagues.
