Level 5 PPD Presentation

Open publication - Free publishing - More crazy times

This is my final PPD presentation that i will deliver to my peers and my tutors for my final module hand in for Level 5. Im happy with the outcome but i wish that i added a goodbye page on the end which would wrap it all up rather nicely i believe. Hopefully they will enjoy it and ill get good feedback from it. 

Events I've Attended

There have been a range of events which i have taken part in recently, the images below are from the INPRESS events that have been ran, these are part of things which i think have a way of working which make a lot of attention be brought towards them and this interests me in a great way. They have done very well for themselves.

Other events which I've attended (but not took a camera to take pictures of myself there) are:

BA Hons (textiles) Final Year Show

Next Steps to being rich and creative...

Now that my PPD will be complete after my presentation i need to look towards the next step in my level 5/6 university steps and this would be to hand in the dissertation proposal, this is something that I'm really anxious to do because once its handed in there is no turning back. 




Then i need to start with all the tasks which ill have to get done over summer:

- get a job and save some money to help pay for the expenses of next year 


- contact design agencies and get back in touch with the ones i already have and try to arnage studio visits and get feedback on my work 


- full brand myself and get it all printed and ready for level 6 


- enjoy alittle personal time as this will be my last "free" summer


- get as much dissertation done as possible cause it will relieve stress once im back to leeds


- crack on with the summer brief, instead of leaving it till last minute. 

Creation of the Presentation

All of this post will show how i came to the decisions when it came to making my presentation.

First of all i had to put the branding which i created for myself on there so that all of my work can link together through this and it will start to brand the work which i am known for aswell. 

Each slide on powerpoint then had what i wanted to put on each slide so that i met all the target areas, then if i had time left towards the end i would be able to add in more interesting slides which would add the humour side of things to it all.

I then changed over to make the slide show as a PDF cause powerpoint wouldn't let me align things how i wanted to and this created quite the problem when it came to looking into the whole aspect of things. The layout has now been decided so i can begin to add the content to each of my slides and start to makes it all make sense. 

The three posts at the bottom was something i wanted to test to try and make it stand out alittle and give it that creative edge that would fill the space to the left and give it a visual. however i think that it just made it look over cramped and it would look better with actual images in there. 

These three slides above are just some of the slides that will be placed into my final presentation for my level 5 PPD show. These have all worked well and give off a style to which i think looks the most effective, with the images in there now it gives me something to refer to and the most important point of the slides.

Social Networking Sites.

I have started to sign up to social networking sites and contacting creatives through these means as sometimes this is where the new students are posting their work, these are perfect to get in touch with because they see the same problems that i do so they are easy to contact on that level. 

I am currently a member of behance, i will soon join up to tumblr aswell to get my work out that way and as i have previously said i will attempt to create my own website and then post my work and others that you can view and purchase and also contact me. 

Pinterest is another website which i have started to create and put work which i am interested in, this allows me to meet others and message them about the things which can be posted to there pages. I find this an interesting way to store the things i find around the internet because when i load up the page i can quickly find what im looking for instead off having to trail down pages and pages of blogs.

OUGD203 Module Evaluation

End of module evaluation for OUGD203. This was my favourite design piece of work for the self studied section of this and i feel that this is reflected in my outcome and the quality of my final outcome.

For Safe Keeping

Wrote down all the information about who i have contacted and what they have said just incase i'm out and don't have my macbook with me and i have some spare time on my hands i can re email them to keep the conversation fresh so that my networking is always ongoing.

Reading and understanding the briefs...

After reading all the briefs i went through and picked out everything that had to be handed in for the module submission, i placed these into my book and made it so that i can ticket them off as i go through to make sure that i don't miss anything from the presentation or the blog. Hopefully ill get all of these ticked off due to me already having done or will be doing.
