From what I have learnt in design principles I have produced a grid layout in InDesign for my design boards and presentation. The documents will allow me to place the images onto the inDesign pages therefore making the process of putting design sheets and presentations together much simpler!
For the design boards I have kept more of an equal balance of text to image, working with a three and two column template. This can be changed to suit the content without having the vastly adjust the design. Having a continuos design of the brief title, code and my name in the top left and right corner makes reading the sheets consistent as your eyes follow the same pace layout each time.
For the presentation template I have focused on having a more imagery based design. This gives the audience something that is strongly visual to look at whilst listening, rather than reading text that I am also saying. Text would be added when appropriate and depending on whether it was being used along side myself speaking or alone. My main influence for the template is the Country Living magazine. The layout of the magazine works around the strong photography that each double page spread maintains as well as having paragraphs or short sections of text. The text is either an article or a short description therefore providing context to the imagery. I have added a heading to the design to add an context to the page as well as helping me when presenting. Having these features increases my confidence as they are little helpers that are there distinctively when presenting. These are areas that have been highlighted to me from the first presentations that we carried out when starting the course and I have found that they make the experience a lot less stressful therefore I feel as though I come across more confident in the presentation.
