Presentations are the story of your project - from early sketches and inspiration, through prototypes and more developed ideas, presentations highlight the pieces of the process that led each student to their latest project.
Prompt
In this assignment, you will compile and create your final presentation, which will become part of your online portfolio of work, able to be shared with the public.
Instructions
Create a post in the "Portfolio" tab of your project folder. This post has two components: the visual presentation and the written project description. Each component is outlined below and should be included in the same post.
Deliverable 1: Visual Presentation
- Slide 1: Final Photograph with Project title
- Slide 2: Thesis Statement (1-2 sentence project statement that explains the overall idea of your project)
- Slide 3: Precedent Image(s)
- Slides 4-6: Concepts with initial drawings (sketch photographs storyboard)
- Slides 7-8: Scale Model Photographs - GIFs
- Slides 9...: Final Diagrams (Story, Use, and Technical)
- Deliverable 2: Project Statement
The Project Statement is a 1-2 paragraph project description that explains the overall idea of your project to someone who is unfamiliar with the topic. Below is a series of key points to consider as you write this final project description. Keep in mind that you should not simply put all of the answers together -- you must weave it together into a clear story.
Things to consider:
- The what is a clear statement of the overall idea/thesis.
- The why explains how your project changes the world. It is the reason your project exists – what social issue is it engaging, who is your project helping, how does the project change the world, and what important social, intellectual, or technical questions does it raise? The scope of the why can vary widely.
- The how briefly explains what technical prowess, innovative methods, or cool materials you used in your solution.
- The who explains who will use your design, why they will use it, and in what context.
- Think of the reader - it is good to imagine that a university admissions officer AND a potential employer in the field of your design should both be able to understand and be excited by the project based on your writing.
