I feel this presentation went far better than my previous one as I was a lot more capable of controlling my nerves for some reason. Probably because there was not a whole classroom filled with people watching me present, as was the case last time round. I also prepared in depth notes, as previously I had relied on the slides alone to prompt what I was to say which with no practice I thought would be fine, which it would've been as I'm passionate about my work and can easily and fluidly discuss my ideas in crits and to my peers, however in front of a packed class my anxiety got the better of me. I was proud of myself however for sticking in through as I was very close to exiting the classroom as my name was called , to go first.
I ran over time slightly on this presentation however and felt a number of slides nearer the end particularly the Lazy Gear element may have been a bit rushed, which may have in fact been a positive as I'm incredibly excited and passionate about reviving it to the point where I could be waffling on for days. I was very happy with the positive feedback I got and my ability to present at ease helped me prove to myself I was more than capable of expressing my ideas in this fashion, as this often concerns me when thinking of presenting to clients later on in life.
I also feel that less writing on the slides was an improvement on last presentation as it looks clearer, neater and more of a visual experience for the audience so they can focus on my voice and images as opposed to all this plus having to read off the screen from my messy handwritten notes.
