Conclusion Blog Post for Project 5

Behance Post

Create a finished portfolio post for the Pet Project. Remember, the purpose of a portfolio blog post is to present your final project in a manner that you would show it to a client/employer. Include the following:

• Cover
• Several interior spreads
• Details

AV Presentation

Learning to present and sell your design work is a skill that is developed by making presentations. At the end of each project, you will be expected to make an audio visual presentation to explain your work. The presentations should show the steps you took to get to the final piece, be voice narrated, and may not exceed two (2) minutes in duration. You are free to use any means to create the presentation.

Remember to include the following in your presentation:

• Beginning | An opening statement that defines the problem being solved, including three adjectives.
• Middle | Go through the adjectives one at a time, describing how you solved the design problem.
• End | Restate the design problem and conclude with a definitive statement that includes the three adjectives.
• A short presentation in PowerPoint or Keynote (be sure to keep it simple)
• Length | 1–2 minutes

If you need more specific information on creating an AV presentation (using Jing), see the instructions under Lesson 3 in Week 2.

When you are finished with the presentation, make a new blog post in WordPress and copy and paste the link from Screencast (or other video streaming site). In the same post, answer the following questions:

• Would you put this in your portfolio? Why?
• If you could do your project all over again, what would you do differently?
