Presentation critique
Goal 1 - Byron and Michelle
First off, very well done-there are many good things to say about your presentation. I thought your images were all great, and were arranged very well. One little detail I thought was really cool were those thin grey bands dividing some of the photos. Also, dividing one image into several with thin white vertical bands in-between was a cool detail too. Your header to all the pages was really cool too, and helped us follow along and see visually how you progressed through the issue. This was also great because we could see when you were wrapping it all up, and see how all the slides worked together. All these small modifications and cool photo arrangements really held my attention and made me pay more attention cause I kept getting pleasantly surprised. Visually, your presentation was very interesting. I think the text was dealt with well, I focused mostly on the pics but I think there was adequate text. One thing though-don’t be afraid to use capital letters. We debated with this in our own presentation, so I understand why you guys chose to use lower case letters in most of the presentation, but I wonder if it is a bit cliche in a presentation.
Your analysis was very strong as well. You guys really emphasized the complexity of the issue in Somalia, and how the many factors are related and important to consider. Our project was also about Somalia, so I really appreciated this careful analysis-Somalia really is in a complicated state right now, and you guys made this clear to the rest of the audience.
Your proposals were well organized too. They weren’t shallow and unrealistic, like many of the others I’ve seen. You guys really seemed to have a thorough understanding of the issues, and through your case studies and proposal you had a very strong presentation. You guys did a good job explaining the many cause and effect relationships that need to be addressed in your issue.
