DEVELOPMENTAL RESEARCH PRESENTATION_
No matter how many times I do a presentation, it is still a massively daunting task to do. There’s something about standing up in front of people (admittedly only 8 people) that will never feel natural for me, I am always nervous and seem to get tongue tied and frustrated.
This presentation was based on my personal philosophy. The aim of the presentation was to give an overview of what was to be written in my essay, focusing on 1-2 designers or companies relevant. I looked at brands such as burberry and Zara, looking at the idea of consumerism and fast fashion, but went into more detail and depth about H&M, as I have experience within the company from working there for 2 and a half years and had an inside view into fast fashion on the high street.
I feel the presentation overall was a success. I would liked to have spent more time perfecting it and perhaps practicing it more to gauge time, and feel more confident about presenting it. However, I felt like I couldn't dedicate as much time to it as I would have liked as I was juggling other deadlines and modules. This I feel had an effect on my performance, it would have benefitted me to go through my presentation more. I was reading from a script, so if I were to do it again, I would memorise more, and use prompt cards to help me if needed. This would help me appear more confident and get across my points more clearly. I also needed to address the audience more - I did try, but everytime I looked at them I became nervous and lost my train of thought, resulting in me having to pause and collect myself so my nerves didn't run away with me.
I was happy with the information and research I collected, and did really help to give me a starting point to write my essay. I feel within the presentation, I could have included more historical references, something to think about when I write my essay.
