The document outlines a comprehensive process for creating an engaging presentation about oneself, emphasizing the importance of audience engagement through techniques like body language and visual imagery. It covers various steps including brainstorming, storyboarding, citing images, and using tools like master slides and models to enhance the presentation's flow and impact. Key learnings include the significance of practice, visual stimulation, and the necessity of good material paired with an engaging presenter for a successful presentation.

1. My Presentation
Step 1-Summary of presentation
This is a project where I had to construct a presentation about myself to help others
understand who I am. I learned many techniques on how to keep the audience intrigued and
not wanting to go watch grass grow instead. The process to create a good presentation is that
of skill,practice and thought, all the tools I learned weather it be through body language, visual
imagery or how i conduct myself all come together to form one good presentation that melds
to help me and the audience stay engaged and involved in the message i'mtrying to relay to
the audience.
Step 2—What is a Good Presentation?

2. Brainstorming: let the brain flow and start jotting down some ideas that will help create the
theme you are looking for. Once you have themes that you feel blends together figure out how
you're going to use them to convey your message.
Storyboard: This is just you creating your idea visually as a rough draft to really comprehend
and grasp your idea, serves as an outline. Paper and online can be used as tools. We did this in
class through folded paper serving as a practice “powerpoint”
Identify the Core/What’s Important Think realistic and logically without any distractions as to
what the core of your message is. Make it impactful and not something dull, give your message
meaning.
Dakara Nani (So What?) Get rid of the pointless nonsense. Identify the what and why and only
use point to further your message and give it volume rather than hinder it with uselessness.
Only use things to strengthen it.
Stories Beginning, Middle and End. simple structure but vital
Quality Presentation Notes When watching a good presentation you can see the fast paced “in
your face” style that keeps you engaged and wanting more, rather than the dull bleak boring
talk talk talk you to death style. Nobody wants to read slides because that requires effort and
during presentation we are trying to chill and relax and we can not do that if we reading. That's
why the quick cuts of humour and short text gave the presentation life.
Good Presentation and Good Presenter Both of these rely on one another, you need good
material to make a great presentation but you also need a good presenter to make the material
come to life. The presentation has to be well made and clever and the presenter has to be
practiced and engaging, and if this is done you will have a good presentation
Step 3—Brainwriting and Brainstorming Ideas
Brainstorming is helpful in a ton of ways. When you brainstorm your transferring your thoughts
visually. how you do that is up to you. Weather it be paper,online or how ever you want,this is
essential to comprehend your ideas visually and come up with your ideas on how to fix or
strengthen your ideas after seeing them in front of you.

3. Step 4 –Creating the Storyboard
Storyboards are your blueprint for your brainstorms. This is where you place and piece together
your thoughts and ideas you've had to create an idea of what your presentation will look and
flow like. This speeds up the process by giving you a draft of where to put what.
Step 5—Gathering and Citing Images
When you want to use and image you run into the problem of copyright. Using someone's
images is illegal without proper citation and credit of the owners work, this is due to the
owner's rights to their work and the laws that are placed to protect them.Flickr is a place where
people have allowed people to use their work to share as long as credit and the source is given.
Even tho permission is not given you are allowed to use them. This makes it easier to visually
express your messages to others during a presentation using others skill and expertise. When
you cite you need to but who its by, then whats its called after then give the citation and date
to complete.

Step 6—Creating the Master Slide
The master slide setting helps you format your slides by changing background and text color
other than having to do it slide by slide. This allows you to move and create text a specific way
and not having to worry about it resetting to default formats and continuing the one you want
by simply adding more slides.
Step 7 –Buildingthe Slide Show

4. When building the slideshow I found it easiest by finding the format I wanted and sticking to it.
Then slide by slide I laid out what I wanted in each one by putting down “pic of *whatever you
want*”
So that I didn't have to find pic by pic and I had everything laid out so when I did want to add
images I'd know what image goes on what slide.The S.U.C.C.E.Ss model is a tool to help the flow
of your message, this makes it so slides are fast and to the point. When you feel confident in
that you can then go image hunting and place them where you put your text for that specific
image.
Step 8—Sharing the Slide Show
When your done with your presentation whether it be through google or wherever you
presentation May reside you can upload it to slideshare to be viewed and seen by a larger mass
of people.you can also find tons of more presentations shared by students just like yourself

Step 9-Preparing to pitch/present
In the video I took away from some key points made by Amy Cuddy and Julian Treasure on how
to present better. When presenting you want to look alive not a statue like, be powerful and

5. seem ready. You also want too when presenting, be positive,have a good tone,to the
point,authentic and spread love not hate.
I tend to practice once or twice but I know for it to be good I must practice smart and
efficiently. I will memorize my script and practice in front of my family and my friends so i can
get an unbiased opinion and good feedback.
Step 10 –What I Learned
I learned a lot on how to create a more entertaining and visually stimulating presentation. I
now know it needs to be fast paced low text high imagery rehearsed show you give to convey
your message cleverly to your audience. I also learned a lot of computer skills when it comes to
citing pictures and using powerpoint. The act of presenting is an art form and a show that you
put on to engage and share your message. I learned from amy and julian great techniques on
enhancing your presentation performance to further add skills and expertise to your
presentation so that you present yourself and your material in a smart and tasteful way.
