OUGD402 Presentation Discussions

Today we got into small groups to talk about our presentations. We discussed any concerns or worries we had and what the content and style would be. I found this to be extremely beneficial as I have been worrying quite a lot about the presentation. I am not a confident speaker as I get very nervous when presenting, so talking through what I could do to help make myself more at ease was something I found useful. It also become more clear in my mind what was being asked of me and I now have a better understanding of the things that I need to cover. Initially I was concerned with the amount of time and whether i'd be able to stretch my presentation to fit the 7 minutes. But, I believe now I know what to include I have a better chance of achieving this. I also need to be careful not to rush through and speak quickly, if I get nervous I just need to take a deep breath and help calm myself down. To help decrease my nerves for the presentation I am going to do some research into designers who present and watch there style and the way in which they do it. I will also plan it out ahead of time so Im fully prepared and I have less chance of messing it up.
