Final Presentation Reflection

Having to present my work does not usually bother me. I am fairly confident when it some to public speaking especially when I am talking about something I know about, in this case something I designed. Sunday night I found out I was presenting on Friday which was fine but I knew it would be a long wait until it was my turn, but Monday morning I was told to get ready because I was presenting. This somewhat caught me off guard. Although I knew what I wanted to say I was not in the mind set to present. Once I got up in front of my board I realized that I could do this, it was not different from any other speech I had done in the past. I felt confident although I am not sure if it was noticeable. Once I began speaking everything seemed to flow into place. Then the questions came. This part always makes a slightly nervous because I never know what to expect, but this time I was somewhat prepared, I kept thinking of questions that people had asked to the presenters before me and I also went through my design process to make sure I knew the reason for what I did, which helped a lot.
When I was presenting I tried to make sure I kept eye contact but sometimes I know I faced my board in order to show my audience certain things. It really bothered me that I had to do that, I feel like when you are presenting you should always look at your audience.
Usually I feel like critiques are really long and boring but this one actually kept my attention. I really like all the presentations that you could tell people worked really hard on. There were also so many good and creative ideas. I feel like I could have worked harder to be more creative. I actually had so many ideas after I finished my presentation. If I were to do it again I know it would be much better. I know I can improved and I have so many more thing to learn and I can’t wait.

the dots were so much more difficult than i thought. i had never used dots to render before this. it was fun to try it, it took a lot of time though.

CLue #2 #3 #4

clue #2 create thunbnails of an object.

this brought back memories from first semmester. it was a nice break from what we've been doing and it was fun. it was also much easier doing it this time around. i knew of neew ways to look at things which helped a lot.
clue #3 create a reading nook
to me a reading nook is a small comfortable space you can be alown to read. i though it would be interesting to have it among the books so why not insert it into the book case itself?

clue #4 adding four colors to three perspective. each color should be in a bifferent place.

this was really fun. it is amazing to me how adding the same colors to different spaces can change the sapce so much. i like the blue book case the best. i think the colors work better it that perspective.
