one day to go!!!!

Author: onedotzero

it’s thursday morning and the cascaders are gathering at the doodle bar to bring together their final presentations… over the last few days ideas have been proposed, adapted and rejected, youtube has been plundered for inspiration and there has been lots of chin stroking and head scratching. rolls of lining paper have been filled, ideas have been painted, drawn, written, edited and composed… the problem now is how to present these ideas to the audience of industry luminaries that will gather tomorrow afternoon ready to be blown away by something exciting, original and ambitious!!

so here are some things to consider:

> how to utilise the expertise of every member of the team?

> how to engage the audience at the presentation? by performance? interaction? audience participation? moving image… etc

> how to involve the general public? what would motivate an audience? prove it!

> how to engage people who are not like you? kids off of council estates? OAPs? merchant bankers? barristers wives? your mum?

> location? can you make full use of it? is it a participant?

the time for talking is over…..
