Responsive Session 4

Project proposals and Presentation Boards

The information provided below is simply to give you a better idea on how you can present your boards for next week, in the end it is up to you on how you wish to best present the design solution to your chosen brief.

Present concepts, research, and mock ups
. Clear, organised and professional manner
. Presenting information

If you learn the rules, you will know why they are necessary. 

If you question the rules, you will know which ones are important.
And if you understand the rules, you can work out which ones to break.

Submission Guidelines:

. Do you need to create an Account or Profile before you can submit anything?
. Download any submission details/forms that you need to use alongside your main deliverable.
. Check Mandatories/Deliverables.
. Identify submission deadline.
. Clarify submission process and formats
. Prepare Submissions as directed

Submit Work on Brief and on Time.

What is expected and who is expecting it? Are they the expectations of the project, or actually yours? Double check on the bare minimum, don't kill yourself by accidentally doing too much, you have to be realistic if you want to get anything done.


Creative Compromise will be looked at throughout this module when it comes to all the briefs you take up on. There is a difference between wanting and needing to, and we have to remind ourselves that it is the latter we need (Haha) to do to be able to deliver those briefs on time.


What are you being asked to produce?

A physical product?
A workable proposal? 
Or a visual concept (Most possibly this one in our case)?

Ever considered thinking that you don't have to make the entire thing?


Before you start working, figure out what exactly it is that you need to create. What is possible to develop, and whether it is enough to demonstrate what you want.


Don't do work you don't need to do.


While we have to consider our target audience in solving a design problem, in this case, it the judges that will be seeing it this time round. Do you have to demonstrate that you have done your research? Demonstrate the context and how it will look as a mock up?


Context, what you will find in most briefs, how do people interact with it? Super imposed mock ups that show people that it can exist in the real world.


3 Rules for Presentation Boards:
1. Start at the end (Impact), to show the audience or judges what it is you intended to produce. Don't present it like you would your other school assignments.
2. Product, Range, Distribution, how it will appear in different mediums
3. Audience, Function, Context

Think before you do (It will save you time and money), plan before you act, and question everything that our lecturers have ever said.

By next week: 
Present 3-5 A3 Presentation Boards, as well as all the developmental work you have done so far up this point in the previous sessions.

And god help us all.
