Presenting...

OK so we have another presentation and this time it's the big one, for our FMP, and one of the most trickiest due to not completely knowing what lies ahead for my project at this moment in time, although I'm not expected to. I've never been confident in presenting so don't hold much hope for this one, but it has to be done.

Dan showed us some links to help us out. Here they are:

Jeffrey Lewis was the only 'presenter' I was really familiar with. A singer /comic book artist, his approach is just to be honest about what interest's you.

Here are a few links of presentations I've enjoyed over recent years although don't expect me to solve a rubix cube with my nose during my FMP talk!
 

Tom Waits with many tricks up his sleeve, showing that a conventional press conferance isn't quite as it first appears.
A young Steve Job's presenting his newest innovation as if he were a magician.


And as this Animation shows, people needn't be involved. A great piece of animation showing the effects of too much work and no play.


As these distraught Liverpool fans demonstrated that you can still be hard hitting whilst keeping an ireeverant sense of humour.
Enlisting the help of some famous faces, the fan club eventually acheived their mission of hitting home to Tom Hicks that he should leave the club alone and sell up, which he did shortly after.




And how can I talk about presentation without a nod to the most famous example of all?

'I Have a Dream'

Monty Python showed how being humorous and silly can also be educational.




Below is my presentation which uses the Prezi platform, an online mind-mapping facility which creates paths which follows the flow of the presentation and allows for various media such as video, audio and pictures to be added.
