STUDY TASK 10

NOTES:

-use rule of threes (to conduct sentences and structure speech)
-structure speech and let audience know this at beginning, so they can follow along/be engaged/understand when you'll be finishing 
-bookends (using a consistent point to begin and end) 
-don't use filler words, take a pause instead (more confident, less messy, gives you time to read notes and think)
-don't talk when looking at notes
-eye contact (don't stare at one person, don't scan the audience too quickly. maintain eye contact with people around the group to make them feel involved) 
-volume (be loud enough and project your voice)
-pitch (try to sounds engaged not monotone, ask questions or make points with appropriate emphasis)
-speed (don't talk too fast, take time to let them hear you and understand what you said, pause when necessary to let audience think)
-stand still but comfortably, try not to move/tics

PRESENTATION STRATEGY: 

-three sections of my talk: uni developments/personal developments/third year plans

uni developments:
-COP (discovered more about my practice in terms of the way I make images/narratives, taking a post modern approach, research as a key part of my work process and projects, the work I made is definitely something I want to continue into my personal practice to make into a real project)

-504 Book Project  and Laura Carlin talk (really important for me figuring out where my practice lies in illustration, thinking about if I want to work in children's illustration and if sequential image making suits me, a big struggle of a project, definitely has failures and strengths, a learning curve, plan to continue in third year)

-Contact Report (Hey Ho Print Co, looking into selling and shops, how small independent businesses interact with illustrators, helpful for making contacts for after uni, asking about my home area and how i might work over summer/interact with another artistic community)

-PP collab (Ey Up!, organisation and planning, practical skills/business awareness and finance, the work that goes into a group project)

personal developments:
-Colours May Vary (challenging myself, organisation, time management, talking to people and communication, getting things done while working with a big group of people, i like organising and being in charge)

-Selling at art markets/exhibitions (professional work outside uni, selling, business side, etsy, making connections, getting a feel for the local community and getting involved)

-Fuzzy Logic Poster (paid work, short deadline, using my uni work to apply for projects, pitching, connections, outside my comfort zone but fun)

third year plans:
