PPP Self branding end of project presentation

Today was the end of project presentations for self branding. I went into the presentation feeling very unprepared in terms of the slides I had as I didn't follow all of the suggested format and aesthetically the show was really lacking. This was due to some poor time management from me as I was still finishing my deliverables late last night. I think this sums up my fairly poor understanding of the task as a lot of presentations didn't have many physical deliverables at all. Me a few other peers have felt a bit lost with the project over the two weeks as it appeared to be very open yet the actual type of project we needed to produce was fairly narrow but I have a better understanding of it now. This meant that I didn't really start working on the project in it final orientation until Tuesday. However I agree that maybe the project in its current capacity is more appropriate for my fledgling level and should have been seen by me as more of an opportunity for humour and a unique idea than actual serious branding.

In terms of the presentation itself, unsurprisingly due to its bold, provocative nature certain elements went down well and were perceived as being humorous. I feel like this did make up the presentation a lot easier and it was in general well received as a strong, innovative idea. One negative was the manner in which I presented as I was self depreciating in terms of the actual presentation and maybe too apologetic. The easiest way to stop this in future would be to have greater confidence in my presentation and have time to actually rehearse what I was going to say. This is probably the main asset that the most successful presentations had as even though I was think my idea was more innovative, the best were very polished with clear colour schemes and layout design with a clear plan of what to talk about on each slide. To improve my own presentation visually more pictures and short passages or quotes should be included as at the moment its text heavy at times.  Over all peers presentations were a very interesting assemble ranging from bright, punchy and loud to cold, clinical and structured, portraying personality along the way. The slickest presentation weren't necessarily the most original ideas and vice versa, a balance must be struck.
