Studio Brief 1 - Presentation

Please Note: The GIFs on slides 7 & 15 are not working on this version, as it has been converted to images in order to post as Google Slides file for the blog.

Studio Brief 1 (Study Task 10) - Presentation Plan

• Bookend presentation with Ira Glass ‘The Gap’ quote, start with beginning of quote, explain how it is relevant throughout, end with last bit of quote
• Split presentation into 5 sections:

         1. The Start - end of level 4, goals for level 5

         2. The Spark - Faslane trip

         3. The Fall - failings of level 5 work

         4. The Lesson - lessons learnt from failings

         5. The Future - goals for level 6 and how to implement lessons

• Include mixture of ‘head’ and ‘heart’ content throughout, mixing practical practice as well as motives behind work, supported by identity and personal traits
• Include gifs as well as still images, have enough slides so don't have to stay on one for too long, perhaps 2-3 per section

Studio Brief 3 (Study Task 8) - Group Presentation, Pass It On Zine

In our group I was responsible for the initial idea generation, the logo design and the spread mock ups for the Publication. We worked collaboratively on generating a concept for the content and ethos of our zine, which I contributed to also. Jenny Carter and I presented the above pitch to the class.

I enjoyed working as part of a creative community, bouncing ideas of everyone in the group and working together to create an end result that was the product of everyone's participation. I did struggle at times feeling like I was taking over a bit and was conscious not to make it too much of a product of just my own work. This was due partly to my temperamental inability to compromise but also to the lack of input from quieter members of the group. I found it difficult when others were not as engaged as I was or as serious about the general project despite my best intentions to engage them, meaning they made some poor decisions that needed changing to ensure we had a suitable and sufficient final product. I wanted everyone to be as involved as each other and ideally there would have been no leader, but in this instance I found it necessary.
