    Purpose

    Presentations are the story of your project - from early sketches and inspiration images, through storyboards and more developed ideas, presentations highlight the pieces of the process that led each student to their latest project.

    In this activity, you will compile and create your final presentation, which will become part of your online portfolio of work, able to be shared with the public.

    Instructions

    The story of your design process has two components : the visual presentation and the written project description. Each component is outlined below and should be included in the same post.

    Deliverables

    1: Visual Presentation

    You will create a slide deck that captures the story of your design process. Follow the template outlined above and use the slide editor to best represent the process that you have followed throughout this studio. 

    2: Project Statement

    The Project Statement is a 1-2 paragraph project description that explains the overall idea of your project to someone who is unfamiliar with the topic. Below is a series of key points to consider as you write this final project description. Keep in mind that you should not simply put all of the answers together -- you must weave it together into a clear story. Add this to your final presentation (in the text section below your slides).

    Things to consider:

    The what is a clear statement of the overall idea/thesis.

    The why explains how your project changes the world. It is the reason your project exists – what particular issue is it engaging, who is your intended audience, what is the intended message of the film, and what important social, intellectual, or technical questions does it raise? The scope of the why can vary widely.

    The how briefly explains what technical prowess, innovative methods, or cool materials you used in your solution.

    The who explains who will benefit from your film and why they are your target audience. 

    Think of the reader - it is good to imagine that a university admissions officer AND a potential employer in the field of your design should both be able to understand and be excited by the project based on your writing.

    Design your Digital Poster

    1 / 3

    Prompt

    You've worked hard to redesign a single-use plastic item commonly found at various events into an innovative product made from bioplastics such as potato starch or gelatin. Now it's time to showcase your creation and invite others to see the impact of your work! 

    In this activity, you'll use Canva and its AI generative imaging feature to design a captivating poster that will invite people to an event where all students' bioplastic prototypes will be displayed.

    Instructions

    1. Brainstorm Your Poster Design:

      • Think about the event where your bioplastic product will be showcased.
      • Consider what key information needs to be on the poster: event name, date, time, location, and a catchy tagline.
      • Reflect on the visual elements that will make your poster eye-catching and relevant to your bioplastic product.

    2. Canva Design:

      • Go to Canva and log in or create an account if you don't have one.
      • Click on "Create a design" and select "Poster."
      • Choose a layout that complements your event and product. Canva offers various templates to get you started.
      • Text Elements: Include the event name, date, time, location, and a catchy tagline or a brief description of the event.
    3. Canva's AI Generative Imaging Tool: 
      • Use this tool to create unique images of your bioplastic product. Click on "Elements" or "Photos," then choose "AI Image Generator" and describe your product to generate an image.

    DIAGRAMMING


    1 / 19

    Prompt

    Designers represent their ideas through many different means: drawings, photographs, renderings, scale models, prototypes, and more. Diagrams are just another means of representing your project and can help fill in the gaps in your design. These diagrams will illustrate how someone interacts with your furniture as well as how it's put together. 

    Instructions

    In this assignment, we will learn about different types of diagrams, and how we can use each one to further communicate the ideas of your project. 

    Review the presentation above to learn about the types of diagrams used by designers to communicate their ideas. Then, every member of the project team needs to create a Use Diagram and Technical Diagram. As you create your diagrams, consider how each one will highlight the core aspects of your idea. 

    Keep in mind that these diagrams will be shared in your final presentation, so take care to make them clean and easily understandable. Consider tracing photographs of your prototype to help with perspective and proportions. You are encouraged to make multiple versions of your diagrams until you feel like you've done your best. Designers often make dozens of diagram drafts before sharing their work with their team or client. 

    Draw a Use Diagram

    1. Look back at examples of this presentation to understand different approaches 
    2. Depict who is interacting with your project as well as how they are utilizing it.
    3. Using arrows, color coding, and/or labels, point out the components of your project in your Use Diagram. 
    4. If your furniture exists in different states, or transforms in someway, be sure to illustrate this in your diagram. 

    Draw a Technical Diagram

    1. Look back at examples in the presentation above. Notice how these examples deconstruct the object to show the individual elements. These elements are then connected with a dashed line.
    2. Deconstruct or take apart your final project into multiple components. Try to highlight visually, how the project is put together to perform its functions.

    Deliverables

    Submit your Use Case and Technical Diagrams into the Response tab above. You and your partner(s) are encouraged to submit your own versions into individual posts. Alternatively, you may submit 1 technical and 1 use case diagram per team.
