Senior Presenation

Holy shit! I'm almost done with one semester and have one more to go in my college career. For this presentation, I wanted to my audience to take a look at who I was and where I want to go after I'm done with college. Yeesh! Getting a bit nervous just thinking about it.

Senior Presentation

Design Phase III

Upon completing the touch points for 816 Recording, I began to really put this company into context. The design elements I used started to "family up" and come together to start to really create a system.

816 Recording is meant to reflect 3 main attributes. These 3 words are modern, elegant, and timeless. This company also has a lot of power meaning that the item that they have for sale isn't just another product – it's a life change. It's a step towards becoming who you want to be and going where you want to go. And, it's about passion.

At 816 Recording we believe it's time to give it all you've got and to let us hope you get "Your Piece of the Sky".

Sky Recording Final Statement

In choosing Sky Recording to rebrand, I saw it as not only as an opportunity for a facelift but an opportunity to study an industry that I am very curious to know more about. Rebranding is about "creating a new name, term, symbol, design, or combination of them for an established brand with the intention of developing a [new] position in the mind of competitors."

So what is my goal as a designer for Sky Recording? The goal of my design is to give Sky an identity that sets them apart from other recording studios. Giving them a sense of style that gives them a sophisticated scale in the building and in the minds of the people that work there. I want the audience to feel a sense of professional trust in the visual clarity that the rebranding will have.

This also gives me a chance to really grab Sky's sense of promotion by the reigns where they are lacking. This seems to turn the company's self-confidence to a low pull. If they have such great staff and so much to offer, there needs to be more advertisement for such a moral business.
This rebrand will give Sky Recording a more competitive sense of style and attitude without losing aspects that could jeopardize the musicians interest.

Viva la music.

Analysis of Presentations

Getting ready on moving on to our next phase of the cookbook prototype, we are to present out ideas to a group of people. At this time, it is important to display the information at the best present the information.

The pace of her presentation was well kept. When she was talking about an area or subject that people weren't aware of (such as the county) she shows where it is, as well as familiar locations around it. Her presentation is not only a story but meets important bullet points along the speech/presentation.

READINGS

I Do Declare and Be Selfish

I Do Declare

Holy shit, finally! An article that notes that blemishes during a speech are human. They key is the design behind something. Basically from this article I gathered that a presentation should be precise. The viewers only know what you're telling and showing them. When you say something in a paragraph, that could be said in a sentence, that's waisting your time to present (assuming there is an allotted time slot to present) and the viewers time for questions and comments. Showing visuals is key and can be a lot quicker to keep the image or idea stuck in the viewers mind.

Here are the main points in the reading that should be the "golden rules" of presentations.

1. Show invisibles.

2. Design to your strengths.

3. Outwit.

4. Digress.

5. Edit.

6. Comic relief.

7. Literary devices work.

8. Advocate the audience.

9. Reading is chancy.

10. The end shouldn't be endured.

Be Selfish

Knowing your audience –

is very important; this is an important key communicating anything.

Hierarchy –

keeps key points in the audiences mind.

Visually engage your audience –

so they don't fall asleep or keep looking at their watches or texting on their iPhones.

Use your audience/capture feedback and reflect –

Let's all learn from one another by keeping the presentations precise and concentrated so there is time at the end for comments or questions for clarification.

Pleix

Pleix is a motion ferm out based out of Paris, France. They work a lot in a studio brainstorming and then work outside doing actual camera shots and set ups. Their work is all motion and video and ranges from music videos to commercials, all of which can be viewed on the television, internet, iPhones, and iPads (basically anything that has a screen). They have done work for adidas, Pontiac, Nokia, Orange, MTV, etc. and have done music videos for Basement Jaxx.

Their work is very surreal images and most of their "promos, commercials and music videos have a "how the hell did they do that?!" feel to them.
