Reflection Of A Presentation

overall I believe that my presentation went very well. This is because of the visuals used, the examples I presented, the tone of the presentation, and my overall knowledge of the subject. Using the feedback summary that I got from my students, I can safely say that my presentation was very successful. However, there are a few key areas of the presentation that I would improve for future use, and there are also a few things that I would do to make the application experience better for all participants. Firstly, I believe that my presentation went well because of the visuals that I used. I attempted to make my presentation viewer-friendly by using a slides template that had a speech box; I thought that this worked well with an advertising-based …show more content…
I tried to use a variety of examples that covered multiple topics, so that each advertisement would be able recognizable and understood by each student. I believe that the best example I used was the “bad” advertisement video.

As I said in the presentation itself, the content of the ads was far less important in comparison to how the ad was able to draw your attention and keep it. I also believe that my example of fonts and font styles were also very effective for the students as, the next day after the presentation, I heard students using the terms sans serif and serif while discussing what font they should use. Finally, I believe that the examples I used were effective because of their relevance to the project. Considering that the summative project for these students is based upon governmental advertising, I made sure to include real government advertisements so that the students had an idea of what made a government ad effective, however, I also used product advertisements to show some of the more common traits that lie between them. To summarise, I believe that my presentation was further enhanced by the examples I
